Final answer:

To find the temperature increase, subtract the initial temperature (-24°F) from the final temperature (8°F), resulting in an increase of 32°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the temperature increase on January 5th from 6am to noon at Mt. Washington. To calculate this, subtract the early morning temperature from the noon temperature.

Here is how we calculate the increase step by step:

  1. Identify the initial temperature: -24°F at 6am.
  2. Identify the final temperature: 8°F at noon.
  3. Subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature: 8°F - (-24°F) = 8°F + 24°F = 32°F.

The temperature increased by 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
