The temperature of the ice for an ice hockey match is - 7°C. For ice-skating, the temperature of the ice is 2 degrees warmer. What is the temperature of ice for ice-skating?

Temperature of the ice for ice-skating = - 5 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for solving the question:

Temperature of the ice for an ice hockey match = - 7 °C

Temperature for ice - skating is 2 degrees warmer.

2. What is the temperature of the ice for ice-skating?

For the correct calculation, we use this formula:

Temperature for ice-skating = Temperature of the ice for a hockey match + 2

Temperature for ice-skating = - 7 + 2

Temperature of the ice for ice-skating = - 5 °C

We add 2 to the temperature of the ice for a hockey match because the temperature for ice-skating is described as warmer. If it were described as colder, we should subtract.
