(                    )




 

1)  

 The temperature went down 1 degree Celsius and then down 5 degrees Celsius, ending up at a final temperature of  -16 degrees Celsius. What was the starting temperature

- Answer: 10 degrees Celsius


SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Work backwards. Add:

-16°C + 1°C + 5°C = -10°C

So, the starting temperature was -10 degrees Celsius.



2)  

Madurai recorded a temperature of Forty Four degrees Celsius, and Selam recorded a temperature of Twenty Eight degrees Celsius. Who recorded a warmer temperature



Answer: 1



SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

44°C is warmer than 28°C. So, Madurai recorded a warmer temperature.



3)  

 The temperature in ooty was 20°C on Monday, 14°C on Tuesday, and 9°C on Wednesday. Which list shows the days from coolest to warmest





Answer: 4


SOLUTION 1 :

Slove:

9 is the smallest of the three numbers, so 9°C is the coolest.

20 is the largest number, so 20°C is the warmest.

Since 9°C is the coolest and 20°C is the warmest, 14°C must be in between.

So, the list from coolest to warmest is Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday.



4)  

 At 5:00 AM, the temperature is 12°C. If the temperature drops 1°C per hour, what will the temperature be at 8:00 AM

Answer: 9 °C


SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

The temperature drops 1°C for 3 hours, so multiply 3 times:

1 x 3 = 3

Subtract the starting temperature 

12 - 3 = 9

So, the temperature will be 9°C.



5)  

Chennai recorded a temperature of Forty Three degrees Celsius, and Kovai recorded a temperature of Twenty Two degrees Celsius. Who recorded a cooler temperature



Answer: 2



SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Twenty Two Celsius is cooler than Forty Three degrees Celsius. So, Kovai recorded a cooler temperature.



6)  

 The temperature went down 3 degree Celsius and then down 6 degrees Celsius, ending up at a final temperature of  -18 degrees Celsius. What was the starting temperature

- Answer: 9 degrees Celsius


SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Work backwards. Add:

-18°C + 3°C + 6°C = -9°C

So, the starting temperature was -9 degrees Celsius.



7)  

Madurai recorded a temperature of Forty One degrees Celsius, and Selam recorded a temperature of Twenty Eight degrees Celsius. Who recorded a warmer temperature



Answer: 2



SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

41°C is warmer than 28°C. So, Madurai recorded a warmer temperature.



8)  

 The temperature in ooty was 16°C on Monday, 13°C on Tuesday, and 9°C on Wednesday. Which list shows the days from coolest to warmest





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

Slove:

9 is the smallest of the three numbers, so 9°C is the coolest.

16 is the largest number, so 16°C is the warmest.

Since 9°C is the coolest and 16°C is the warmest, 13°C must be in between.

So, the list from coolest to warmest is Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday.



9)  

 At 3:00 AM, the temperature is 14°C. If the temperature drops 2°C per hour, what will the temperature be at 12:00 AM

Answer: -4 °C


SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

The temperature drops 2°C for 9 hours, so multiply 9 times:

2 x 9 = 18

Subtract the starting temperature 

14 - 18 = -4

So, the temperature will be -4°C.



10)  

Chennai recorded a temperature of Thirty Eight degrees Celsius, and Kovai recorded a temperature of Thirty One degrees Celsius. Who recorded a cooler temperature



Answer: 1



SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Thirty One Celsius is cooler than Thirty Eight degrees Celsius. So, Kovai recorded a cooler temperature.
