Answer 1

To find out by how many degrees the low temperature in Georgia is higher than the average low temperature in the U.S., you can subtract the average low temperature in the U.S. from the average low temperature in Georgia:

Average low temperature in Georgia = 53°F Average low temperature in the U.S. = 50°F

So, the difference is:

53°F - 50°F = 3°F

Therefore, the low temperature in Georgia is higher than the average low temperature in the U.S. by 3°F.

The correct response is:

A, 3
