Answer 1

To find Ken's temperature prediction for May, we need to add the increase in temperature from February to the temperature predicted for February.

1. Ken's predicted temperature for February: -3°C
2. Expected increase by May: +11°C

Now, we calculate the temperature for May:

-3°C + 11°C = 8°C

Therefore, Ken’s temperature prediction for May is 8°C.
