f. By noon, the temperature was 12
f. Jorge said that it was getting warmer outside. Is he correct? Explain.

Answer 1

at 9 a.m. it was -3
by noon, it was 12

Jorge said it was getting warmer outside......Jorge is correct.

because -3 is a temperature 3 degrees less then 0.....and 12 is a temperature 12 degrees more then 0.

so the temperature, from 9 a.m. to noon, rose 15 degrees.
