How many degrees warmer is Florida's coldest recorded temperature than Texas's?

To find how many degrees warmer Florida's coldest recorded temperature is than Texas's, we need to subtract the Texas temperature from the Florida temperature.

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

The difference between the two is:
\[
-2 - (-23) = -2 + 23 = 21
\]

So, Florida's coldest recorded temperature is 21 degrees warmer than Texas's.

Here are 5 related questions for practice:
1. If the temperature in Florida was \(10^\circ F\), how much warmer would it be than Texas's record low?
2. What would be the average of the coldest temperatures in Florida and Texas?
3. If the coldest temperature in Alaska is \(-80^\circ F\), how much colder is that compared to Texas's record low?
4. What would the temperature difference be if Florida's record low was \(0^\circ F\)?
5. How many degrees colder is Texas's record low than \(0^\circ F\)?

**Tip:** When comparing temperatures, always remember to consider the direction of the difference, especially when working with negative numbers.

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?

Find out how much warmer Florida's coldest temperature (–2°F) is compared to Texas's (–23°F) using simple arithmetic. This problem covers negative numbers and basic temperature comparisons, ideal for Grades 5-7 students.
