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

To determine how many degrees warmer Florida's coldest recorded temperature is compared to Texas's coldest, we need to calculate the difference between the two temperatures:

- Texas: -23°F
- Florida: -2°F

The difference is:

\[
\text{Difference} = (-2) - (-23) = -2 + 23 = 21
\]

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

Here are some related questions to consider:
1. How would the difference change if Texas's coldest temperature were -30°F?
2. What would the difference be if Florida's coldest temperature were 0°F?
3. How do negative temperatures work in terms of real-world conditions?
4. What are some practical effects of a 21°F temperature difference?
5. How does the freezing point of water relate to these temperatures?

**Tip:** When subtracting negative numbers, remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive value.

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?
