QuestionSuppose a temperature of −125∘F-125^{\circ} \mathrm{F} was recorded in Antarctica and a temperature of 118∘F118^{\circ} \mathrm{F} was recorded in the Sahara Desert. How many degrees warmer is 118∘F118^{\circ} \mathrm{F} than −125∘F-125^{\circ} \mathrm{F} ? 118∘F118^{\circ} \mathrm{F} is □\square degrees warmer than −125∘F-125^{\circ} \mathrm{F}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Temperature values are given in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
2. To find how many degrees warmer one temperature is compared to another, we can subtract the colder temperature from the warmer temperature.
3. The problem involves basic arithmetic operations.

STEP 2

1. Identify the given temperatures.
2. Set up the subtraction operation to determine the temperature difference.
3. Perform the subtraction.
4. State the final result.

STEP 3

Identify the given temperatures: - Temperature in Antarctica: −125∘F-125^{\circ} \mathrm{F} - Temperature in the Sahara Desert: 118∘F118^{\circ} \mathrm{F}

STEP 4

Set up the subtraction operation to find how many degrees warmer 118∘F118^{\circ} \mathrm{F} is than −125∘F-125^{\circ} \mathrm{F}:
Temperature difference=118∘F−(−125∘F) \text{Temperature difference} = 118^{\circ} \mathrm{F} - (-125^{\circ} \mathrm{F})

STEP 5

Simplify the expression by subtracting a negative number, which is equivalent to adding the absolute value of that number:
Temperature difference=118∘F+125∘F \text{Temperature difference} = 118^{\circ} \mathrm{F} + 125^{\circ} \mathrm{F}

STEP 6

Perform the addition:
118+125=243 118 + 125 = 243

STEP 7

State the final result:
118∘F118^{\circ} \mathrm{F} is 243243 degrees warmer than −125∘F-125^{\circ} \mathrm{F}.
