At midnight, the temperature was -8° F. At noon, the temperature was 23° F. Which expression represents the increase in temperature?
a)−8 − |23|
b)−8 − 23
c)|−8 − 23|
d)|−8| − 23

The expression represents the increase in temperature is .

Given that,

At midnight, the temperature was -8° F.

At noon, the temperature was 23° F.

We have to determine,

Which expression represents the increase in temperature?

According to the question,

At midnight, the temperature was -8° F.

At noon, the temperature was 23° F.

To determine the expression that represents the increase in temperature calculation must be done in a single unit following all the steps given below.

Therefore,

The expression represents the increase in temperature is,

After an increase in the temperature, the value of temperature in noon is -23° F.

Hence, The expression represents the increase in temperature is .

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase is difference between ending and begining value so 23-(-8) =23+8.

In this case its absolute value because it has to be positive

1/4 because there is 4 grades.
