On a cold winter day, the temperature outside a house is -12 degrees Celsius. However, the thermostat inside the house is set to 8 degrees warmer than the temperature outside. What temperature does the thermostat display inside the house?

1 answer

To find the temperature displayed on the thermostat, we add 8 degrees to the temperature outside the house:

-12 degrees Celsius + 8 degrees = -4 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, the thermostat displays a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius.
