Example Question #1 : Understand The Value Of Positive And Negative Numbers: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ns.C.5

On a particular November day, it is $65^\circ F$ and sunny in Tucson, Arizona. On the eastern side of the United States, it is $-23^\circ F$ and sleeting in New Castle, Pennsylvania. How many degrees warmer is it in Tucson than New Castle?

Possible Answers:

$78^\circ F$

$97^\circ F$

$98^\circ F$

$88^\circ F$

$87^\circ F$

Correct answer:

$88^\circ F$

Explanation:

There are several ways that we could solve this problem. First, we can say that the temperature in New Castle is $23^\circ F$ below zero and in Tucson it is $65^\circ F$ above zero; therefore we can say:

$23+65=88^\circ F$

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

Temp1

We can see that Tucson is $88^\circ F$ warmer than New Castle.
