By 3:00 pm, the temperature increased by another 5 degrees Fahrenheit was the temperature at 3:00pm positive or negative?

Part a) The temperature at noon was - 3°F

Part b) The temperature at 3:00 pm was + 2°F

Part c) The temperature at 11:00 pm was - 6°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

When Leo woke up he saw that the temperature was - 8°F. By noon the temperature has increased 5°F. Part a) What was the temperature at noon?

Part b) By 3:00 pm, the temperature increased by another 5 degrees Fahrenheit was the temperature at 3:00 pm positive or negative?

Part c) By 11:00 pm, the temperature had dropped 8°F. Was the

temperature at 11:00 PM positive or negative? Explain.

Part a) we know that

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-8+5=-3°F

therefore

The temperature at noon was - 3°F

Part b) we know that

the temperature increased by another 5 degrees

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-3+5=+2°F

therefore

The temperature at 3:00 pm was + 2°F

Part c) we know that

the temperature had dropped 8°F

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

2-8=-6°F

therefore

The temperature at 11:00 pm was - 6°F
