Part a) we know that

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-8+5=-3°F

therefore

The temperature at noon was -3°F

Part b) we know that

the temperature increased by another 5 degrees

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-3+5=+2°F

therefore

The temperature at 3:00 pm was +2°F

Part c) we know that

the temperature had dropped 8°F

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

2-8=-6°F

therefore

The temperature at 11:00 pm was -6°F
