Solution

Question A:

- The Buffalo temperature was -6° F and the temperature at Dayton was 48° F.

- Thus, we can find how much more the temperature in Dayton is compared to the temperature at Buffalo by subtracting both temperatures. That is,


\begin{gathered} \text{ Temperature in Dayton - Temperature in Buffalo} \\ 48°F-(-6°F)=48°F+6°F=54°F \end{gathered}

- The temperature at Dayton is 54° F higher than the temperature in Buffalo.

Question B:

- The noon temperature in Juneau has increased by 13℉ by noon. This implies that we should add this increase in temperature to the initial temperature in Juneau when it was 6 am.

- This is done below:


\begin{gathered} \text{ Juneau temperature by noon is} \\ -26℉+13℉=-13℉ \end{gathered}

- The temperature in Juneau at noon is -13℉

Final Answer

- The temperature at Dayton is 54° F higher than the temperature in Buffalo.

- The temperature in Juneau at noon is -13℉
