Question

how much higher was the 6am temperature in Winnipeg than in Fairbanks? Winnipeg-15 Fairbanks-31

Answer 1

We want to calculate the temperature difference between Winnipeg and Fairbanks. To do , we take the temperature of Winnipeg and subtract the temperature of fairbanks. So we get

$\text{ -15 - (-31) = 31 - 15 = 16}$

So, this means that the difference between both temperatures is 16 degrees. Since Winnipeg has a higher temperature, that means that the temperature was 16 degrees higher.
