In Texas, the coldest temperature ever recorded is
–
23°F. That's a lot chillier than in Florida, where the coldest recorded temperature is
–
2°F.
How many degrees warmer is Florida's coldest recorded temperature than Texas's?

To find out how many degrees warmer Florida's coldest recorded temperature is compared to Texas's, you can subtract Texas's temperature from Florida's temperature.

Given:
- Texas's coldest temperature = \(-23^\circ F\)
- Florida's coldest temperature = \(-2^\circ F\)

The difference is:

\[
\text{Difference} = (-2^\circ F) - (-23^\circ F)
\]

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding, so:

\[
\text{Difference} = -2 + 23 = 21^\circ F
\]

Florida's coldest recorded temperature is \(21^\circ F\) warmer than Texas's coldest recorded temperature.
