Answer 1

To find the current temperature, you need to add the increase in temperature to the morning temperature. The problem states:

Morning temperature = -8°F
Increase in temperature = +11°F

Now, we can perform the addition:

\[ -8 + 11 = 3 \]

So, the current temperature is 3°F.

The correct response is:

3°F
