Question

The average temperature at the South Pole is -45 F. The average temperature on the Equator is 92 F. How much warmer is the average temperature on the Equator than at the South Pole.

Answer 1

To find the difference in temperature, we subtract the temperature at the South Pole (-45 F) from the temperature on the Equator (92 F).

92 F - (-45 F) = 92 F + 45 F = 137 F

Therefore, the average temperature on the Equator is 137 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than at the South Pole.
