Hello There!

The temperature at 10 am in the morning was 1 degree below zero.

First, we know at 8 am that the temperature was 3 degrees below zero so that number is -3 and it’s our starting number.

Next, it says an hour later the temperature has gone up 6 degrees so we have -3 + 6 and we get a sum of positive 3.

Finally, at 9 am the temperature dropped again but this time 4 degrees so 3 - 4 = -1

The temperature at 10 am in the morning was 1 degree below zero.
