What is the distance between two temperatures on a number line?

Back

The distance between two temperatures on a number line is the absolute difference between their values.

Front

How do you find the highest and lowest temperatures from a set of data?

Back

To find the highest and lowest temperatures, compare all recorded temperatures and identify the maximum and minimum values.

Front

What does it mean when a temperature is below zero?

Back

A temperature below zero indicates that it is below the freezing point of water, and is measured in negative degrees.

Front

How do you compare two negative numbers?

Back

When comparing two negative numbers, the number with the greater absolute value is actually the smaller number. For example, -5 is less than -3.

Front

What is the absolute value of a number?

Back

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. For example, |-3| = 3.

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two values, showing that one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

Front

How do you represent a temperature change on a number line?

Back

A temperature change can be represented by moving left (decrease) or right (increase) on the number line, depending on whether the temperature goes down or up.

Front

What is the significance of ground level in elevation problems?

Back

Ground level is often considered as zero elevation, and any descent or ascent is measured relative to this point.

Front

How do you determine the hottest temperature from a series of recorded temperatures?

Back

To determine the hottest temperature, compare all recorded temperatures and identify the highest value.

Front

What does it mean for a temperature to rise or fall?

Back

A temperature rise means an increase in temperature, while a fall indicates a decrease in temperature.
