temperature at Shimla? Is it also less than the temperature at Srinagar?​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{purple}{ink}{Answer}}$

From the given number line,

The temperature at Srinagar =-2oC

The temperature at Shimla = 5oC

The temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is = – 2oC + 5oC

= 3oC

∴ 5oC > 3oC

So, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the temperature at Shimla.

Then,

3o > -2o

No, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is not less than the temperature of Srinagar.

Answer 2

Answer:

From the given number line,

The temperature at Srinagar =-2oC

The temperature at Shimla = 5oC

The temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is = – 2oC + 5oC

= 3oC

∴ 5oC > 3oC

So, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the temperature at Shimla.

Then,

3o > -2o

No, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is not less than the temperature of Srinagar.
