Question

On a winter day the low temperature in Anchorage, Alaska was -21 degrees Celsius and the low temperature in Minneapolis, Minnesota was -14 degrees Celsius. Jada said: “I know that 14 is less than 21, so -14 is also less than -21. This means that it was colder in Minneapolis than in Anchorage.” Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

No I do not agree. Because the temperatures are negative meaning that -14 is actually 7 degrees warmer than -21 Therefore Alaska was colder that day.
