Question

In Alaska, the coldest temperature ever recorded is
–
80°F. That is much colder than in Hawaii, where the coldest recorded temperature is 15°F.
How many degrees warmer is Hawaii's coldest recorded temperature than Alaska's?
°F

Answer 1

To find out how many degrees warmer Hawaii's coldest recorded temperature is than Alaska's, you need to subtract Alaska's coldest recorded temperature from Hawaii's coldest recorded temperature.

Hawaii's coldest recorded temperature: 15°F
Alaska's coldest recorded temperature: -80°F

Now calculate the difference:

\[
15°F - (-80°F) = 15°F + 80°F = 95°F
\]

Hawaii's coldest recorded temperature is 95°F warmer than Alaska's coldest recorded temperature.
