Lesson 2

Changing Temperatures

Problem 1

  1. The temperature is -2\(^\circ \text{C}\). If the temperature rises by 15\(^\circ \text{C}\), what is the new temperature?
  2. At midnight the temperature is -6\(^\circ \text{C}\). At midday the temperature is 9\(^\circ \text{C}\). By how much did the temperature rise?

Problem 2

Draw a diagram to represent each of these situations. Then write an addition expression that represents the final temperature.

  1. The temperature was \(80 ^\circ \text{F}\) and then fell \(20 ^\circ \text{F}\).
  2. The temperature was \(\text-13 ^\circ \text{F}\) and then rose \(9 ^\circ \text{F}\).
  3. The temperature was \(\text-5 ^\circ \text{F}\) and then fell \(8 ^\circ \text{F}\).

Problem 4

Decide whether each table could represent a proportional relationship. If the relationship could be proportional, what would be the constant of proportionality?

  1. The number of wheels on a group of buses.

    number of buses number of wheels wheels per bus
    5 30
    8 48
    10 60
    15 90
  2. The number of wheels on a train.

    number of train cars number of wheels wheels per train car
    20 184
    30 264
    40 344
    50 424
