Question

The average temperature at the South Pole is – 45º F. The average

temperature on the Equator is 92º F. How much warmer is the average
temperature on the Equator than at the South Pole?

Answer 1

The equator is 137 more degrees than the average temperature of the South Pole.

Answer 2

Answer:
`137^(\circ)F`

Explanation:

Given: The average temperature at the South Pole = -45º F

The average temperature on the Equator = 92º F.

To find how much warmer is the average temperature on the Equator than at the South Pole, we need to find the difference in the temperature.

Difference in temperature =
`92^(\circ)F-(-45^(\circ))F=92^(\circ)F+45^(\circ)F=137^(\circ)F`

Hence, the average temperature on the Equator is
`137^(\circ)F` warmer than at the South Pole.
