Example Question #551 : Problem Solving

On a particular November day, it is $100^\circ F$ and sunny in Tucson, Arizona. On the eastern side of the United States, it is $-22^\circ F$ and sleeting in New Castle, Pennsylvania. How many degrees warmer is it in Tucson than New Castle?

Possible Answers:

$122^\circ F$

$116^\circ F$

$92^\circ F$

$124^\circ F$

$120^\circ F$

Correct answer:

$122^\circ F$

Explanation:

There are several ways that we could solve this problem. First, we can say that the temperature in New Castle is $22^\circ F$ below zero and in Tucson it is $100^\circ F$ above zero; therefore we can say:

$22+100=122^\circ F$

Also, we can solve this problem by using a number line. New Castle’s temperature is units away from zero and Tucson’s is 100 units away.
