Q. Dakota had planned to go downhill skiing on Saturday, but she changed her mind when she learned the predicted high temperature for the day is 3°F-3 \degree\text{F}. Which of these describes Saturday's predicted high temperature?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) colder than 0°F0 \degree\text{F}\newline(B) warmer than 0°F0 \degree\text{F}
  1. Understand temperature given: Step 11: Understand the temperature given.\newline3F-3 \, ^{\circ}\mathrm{F} is the temperature mentioned; it's below zero.
  2. Compare to 0°F0 \degree F: Step 22: Compare 3°F-3 \degree F to 0°F0 \degree F.\newlineSince 3-3 is less than 00, it means it's colder than 0°F0 \degree F.
  3. Match correct choice: Step 33: Match the correct choice. Given the choices (A) colder than 0F0 \, ^\circ\mathrm{F} and (B) warmer than 0F0 \, ^\circ\mathrm{F}, the correct answer is (A) because 3F-3 \, ^\circ\mathrm{F} is definitely colder than 0F0 \, ^\circ\mathrm{F}.
