Question

The table gives the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit in five cities at 6 AM on the same day used to table to answer the questions.

Answer 1

Looking at the table, the temperature in Boston at 6 AM is -8°F.

(a)

If the temperature had risen by 17°F at noon, then the new temperature is:

$-8\degree F+17\degree F=9\degree F$

(b)

The 6 AM temperature in Toronto was -16°F, and -25°F in Fairbanks. The difference is:

$-16\degree F-(-25\degree F)=-16\degree F+25\degree F=9\degree F$
