The table shows the temperatures of four cities at 11 a.m and the changes in these temperatures in the next three hours. Which city is the coldest at 2 p.m?
To determine which city is the coldest at 2 p.m, we need to calculate the temperature of each city at that time.
Let's assume the temperature at 11 a.m for each city is as follows:
City A: 20 degrees Celsius
City B: 15 degrees Celsius
City C: 25 degrees Celsius
City D: 18 degrees Celsius
We also need to know the changes in temperature for each city over the next three hours. Let's assume the changes are as follows:
City A: -2 degrees Celsius
City B: -4 degrees Celsius
City C: -3 degrees Celsius
City D: -5 degrees Celsius
To determine the temperature at 2 p.m for each city, we add the respective changes to the temperatures at 11 a.m:
City A: 20 + (-2) = 18 degrees Celsius
City B: 15 + (-4) = 11 degrees Celsius
City C: 25 + (-3) = 22 degrees Celsius
City D: 18 + (-5) = 13 degrees Celsius
From the calculations, we find that City B has the coldest temperature at 2 p.m with 11 degrees Celsius.
