The temperature was 4 degrees centigrade and dropped by 7 degrees centigrade. How many degrees warmer than -5 is the new temperature?
First, we need to calculate the new temperature after it dropped by 7 degrees.
4 degrees - 7 degrees = -3 degrees
Now we need to find out how many degrees warmer the new temperature is compared to -5 degrees.
-3 degrees - (-5 degrees) = -3 degrees + 5 degrees = 2 degrees
Therefore, the new temperature is 2 degrees warmer than -5 degrees.
