-88°C

38°C

-32°C

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

The short form of temperature is provided below:

i) 88 degrees below zero means -88°C.

• The zero-temperature indicates the freezing point of water.
• It is also mentioned that the temperature is below 0°C, which means the temperature is in a negative value, and the weather is cold with snowfall.

ii) 38 degrees above freezing means +38 °C.

• The temperature specified here is above 0°C, which means the temperature is higher with hot weather.
• The temperature is positive as it is above the freezing point.
• This temperature specifies nearly normal body temperature.

iii) 32 degrees below freezing means -32°C.

• The temperature, in this case, is lower than the freezing point which is 0°C.
• Therefore it is negative and is a colder temperature.
