The afternoon temperature was 5 degrees above the night temperature.

Answer from: soogy

For this case we have:

We evaluate each of the options given according to George's record:

A) The afternoon temperature was 5 degrees above the night temperature: The temperature at night was 0°F while in the afternoon it was +5°F. So, we subtract the temperatures:

Temperature in the afternoon - temperature in the night =

+ 5°F-0°F =+5°F, Thus, the temperature of the afternoon is +5°F above the temperature of the night

So, this statement is correct.

B) The afternoon temperature was 5 degrees above the morning temperature: The temperature in the morning was -2°F while in the afternoon it was +5°F. So, we subtract the temperatures:

Temperature in the afternoon - temperature in the morning =

+5°F-(-2)°F=+7°F, Thus, the evening temperature is +7°F above the morning temperature. So the given statement is not correct.

C) The morning temperature was 2 degrees above the afternoon temperature .: The temperature in the afternoon was +5°F while in the morning it was -2°F. So, we subtract the temperatures:

Temperature in the morning - temperature in the afternoon =

-2°F- (+5°F)=-7°F, so, the morning temperature is -7°F below the evening temperature. So the given statement is not correct.

D) The morning temperature was 2 degrees below the afternoon temperature.

The temperature in the afternoon was +5°F while in the morning it was -2°F. So, we subtract the temperatures:

Temperature in the morning - temperature in the afternoon =

-2°F-(+5°F)=-7°F, so, the morning temperature is -7° F below the evening temperature. So the given statement is not correct.

The correct statement is: The afternoon temperature was 5 degrees above the night temperature.
