Question

2 degrees colder than 1 degree
2 degrees colder than 0 degrees
2 degrees warmer than 1 degree
2 degrees warmer than 0 degrees

Answer 1

To find which situation describes a temperature of –2 degrees, we can analyze each option:

1. 2 degrees colder than 1 degree:

   • 1 degree - 2 degrees = -1 degree

2. 2 degrees colder than 0 degrees:

   • 0 degrees - 2 degrees = -2 degrees

3. 2 degrees warmer than 1 degree:

   • 1 degree + 2 degrees = 3 degrees

4. 2 degrees warmer than 0 degrees:

   • 0 degrees + 2 degrees = 2 degrees

The situation that describes a temperature of –2 degrees is "2 degrees colder than 0 degrees."
