Answer:

The temperature rose by 5 degrees celcius between 11 am and 4 pm

Explanation:

Here in this question, we want to find the integer which represents the temperature change from 11 am to 4 pm.

Initially, in the morning, the temperature was -2 . By 11, it had decreased by 3 degrees. What this means is that the temperature went down further by 3 degrees.

Mathematically, the temperature at 11 will be -2-3 = -5 degrees celcius

Now at 4 pm, the temperature went from -5 to 0 degrees.

The temperature change between 11 am and 4 pm will be; 0-(-5) = 0 + 5 = 5 degrees celcius

This means that the temperature rose by 5 degrees celcius between 11 am and 4 pm
