Question

The average temperature at the South Pole is – 47º F. The average temperature on the Equator is 86º F. How much warmer is the average temperature on the Equator than at the South Pole?

Answer 1

The average temperature on the Equator is 133°F warmer than at the South Pole

Explanation:

• The average temperature at the South Pole is – 47º F.
• The average temperature on the Equator is 86º F.

We need to know how much warmer the average temperature on the Equator than at the South Pole. The average temperature at the south pole is negative , to reach zero degrees we need it to be 47 degrees warmer. After to reach zero degrees we have 87 degrees more to can reach the average temperature on the equator. So the answer to the question, How much warmer is the average temperature on the Equator than at the South Pole? is:

47°F+86°F= 133°F warmer

The average temperature on the Equator is 133°F warmer than at the South Pole

Answer 2

-47 to 0 = 47

0 to 86 = 86

47 +86 = 133 degrees warmer
