To determine how much colder it is at the North Pole compared to Moscow, we need to find the difference between the average daily temperatures of the two locations.
1. Identify the temperatures:
- The average daily temperature in Moscow is [tex]\( -8^{\circ} \text{C} \)[/tex].
- The average daily temperature at the North Pole is [tex]\( -40^{\circ} \text{C} \)[/tex].
2. Calculate the difference:
- To find out how much colder it is at the North Pole, subtract the average temperature in Moscow from the average temperature at the North Pole.
- This can be expressed as:
[tex]\[
\text{Temperature difference} = \text{Temperature in Moscow} - \text{Temperature at the North Pole}
\][/tex]
- Plugging in the values, we have:
[tex]\[
\text{Temperature difference} = -8 - (-40)
\][/tex]
3. Simplify the expression:
- Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding the absolute value of that number. Therefore:
[tex]\[
-8 - (-40) = -8 + 40
\][/tex]
4. Perform the addition:
- Adding the numbers results in:
[tex]\[
-8 + 40 = 32
\][/tex]
Therefore, it is [tex]\( 32^{\circ} \text{C} \)[/tex] colder at the North Pole than in Moscow.
