Answer 1

To find the current temperature, you can start with the morning temperature of -8°F and then add the increase of 11°F.

Here's the calculation:

\[ -8°F + 11°F = 3°F \]

Therefore, the temperature now is 3°F.

Answer 2

is that correct

Answer 3

Yes, the calculation is correct.

Starting with a temperature of -8°F and adding an increase of 11°F:

\[ -8°F + 11°F = 3°F \]

So, the current temperature is indeed 3°F.

Answer 4

There are some areas of land on Earth that are below sea level. Imagine you are at the Dead Sea in Africa, which has an elevation of about −1,410 feet (1,410 feet below sea level). You then climb up 125 feet. What is your new elevation?(1 point)

−1,535 feet
negative 1,535 feet

−1,285 feet
negative 1,285 feet

−1,335 feet

Answer 5

To determine your new elevation after climbing up 125 feet from the Dead Sea's elevation of -1,410 feet, you can add 125 feet to -1,410 feet:

\[ -1,410\ \text{feet} + 125\ \text{feet} = -1,285\ \text{feet} \]

So your new elevation would be -1,285 feet (negative 1,285 feet).
