At 7:00 PM the temperature was -32 degrees Celsius, at 9:00 PM the temperature was -24 degrees Celsius, and at 10:00 PM the temperature was -30 degrees Celsius. When was it warmest?

A. 7:00 PM
B. 9:00 PM
C. 10:00 PM



Answer :

To determine the warmest time given the temperatures at different times, let's compare the temperatures step-by-step:

1. Temperatures at Different Times:
- At 7:00 PM, the temperature was [tex]\(-32 \degree C\)[/tex].
- At 9:00 PM, the temperature was [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex].
- At 10:00 PM, the temperature was [tex]\(-30 \degree C\)[/tex].

2. Analyzing the Temperatures:
- First, let's look at [tex]\(-32 \degree C\)[/tex] and [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex]. Since [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(-32 \degree C\)[/tex], [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex] is warmer than [tex]\(-32 \degree C\)[/tex].
- Next, compare [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex] with [tex]\(-30 \degree C\)[/tex]. Since [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(-30 \degree C\)[/tex], [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex] is also warmer than [tex]\(-30 \degree C\)[/tex].

3. Conclusion:
- From the comparisons, we see that [tex]\(-24 \degree C\)[/tex] (observed at 9:00 PM) is the highest temperature among the given times.

Therefore, the warmest time was at 9:00 PM.
