Tina recorded these temperatures in one day: Morning temperature: +5°F Afternoon temperature: 0°F Night temperature: −1°F Which statement is correct based on the given measurements? (4 points) The morning temperature was 5 degrees above the afternoon temperature. The morning temperature was 5 degrees below the night temperature. The night temperature was 1 degree below the morning temperature. The night temperature was 1 degree above the afternoon temperature.

Answer 1

The answer is the morning temperature was 5 degrees above the afternoon temp.

Answer 2

Option A.

Explanation:

Tina recorded the temperatures in one day.

Morning temperature : +5°F

Afternoon temperature : 0° F

Night temperature : (-1)°F

Now we will check each statement given.

A). The morning temperature was 5° above the afternoon.

Morning temperature - noon temperature = 5 - 0 = 5°F

Therefore, the given statement is true.

B). The morning temperature was 5° below the night temperature.

Morning temperature - night temperature = +5 - (-1)

= 5 + 1 = 6° F

The given statement is false, because morning temperature is 6° higher than night.

C). The night temperature was 1 degree below the morning temperature.

Night temperature - morning temperature = (-1) - (+5) = (-6)°F

Since night temperature was 6 degree below the morning temperature.

Therefore, the given statement is False.

D). The night temperature was 1 degree above the afternoon temperature.

Night temperature - afternoon temperature = (-1) - 0 = -1° F

Therefore, night temperature was 1° below the afternoon temperature.

The given statement is False.

Option A. is the answer.
