Answer 1

Let's solve the problems step by step and find the correct answers to match them:

1. What is the temperature now?

   • It was 13°C yesterday, but the temperature changed by -18.6° overnight.
   • To find the current temperature: \[ 13°C - 18.6°C = 13 - 18.6 = -5.6°C \]
   • So the temperature now is -5.6°C.

2. Determine the distance between -18.26 and -2.45 on a number line.

   • To find the distance, we can take the absolute difference: \[ |-18.26 - (-2.45)| = |-18.26 + 2.45| = |-15.81| = 15.81 \]
   • So the distance is 15.81.

3. Subtract 24 - (-15)

   • This simplifies as follows: \[ 24 - (-15) = 24 + 15 = 39 \]
   • So the result is 39.

Now let's match these answers to the respective problems:

• Temperature now: -5.6°C
• Distance between -18.26 and -2.45: 15.81
• Result for 24 - (-15): 39
