Q. In which story is the answer to the question 00?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Rita lives in Chicago, Illinois, and her pen pal lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming. One January, the lowest temperature recorded in Chicago was 11F-11^\circ\text{F}. In Cheyenne, the lowest temperature that month was 11F11^\circ\text{F} warmer than Chicago's lowest temperature. What was the lowest temperature recorded in Cheyenne that January?\newline(B)Rita lives in Chicago, Illinois, and her pen pal lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming. One January, the lowest temperature recorded in Chicago was 11F-11^\circ\text{F}. In Cheyenne, the lowest temperature that month was 11F11^\circ\text{F}. How much warmer was the lowest temperature in Cheyenne than the lowest temperature in Chicago that January?
  1. Solve for Lowest Temperature: Step 11: Solve for the lowest temperature in Cheyenne in story (A). The problem states that Cheyenne's temperature was 11°F11\degree\text{F} warmer than Chicago's 11°F-11\degree\text{F}. Calculation: 11°F+11°F=0°F-11\degree\text{F} + 11\degree\text{F} = 0\degree\text{F}.
  2. Solve for Temperature Difference: Step 22: Solve for the temperature difference between Cheyenne and Chicago in story (B). The problem states that the lowest temperature in Cheyenne was 11°F11\degree F, while in Chicago it was 11°F-11\degree F. Calculation: 11°F(11°F)=22°F11\degree F - (-11\degree F) = 22\degree F.
  3. Determine Answer Comparison: Step 33: Determine which story's question results in an answer of 00. From Step 11, the temperature in Cheyenne in story (A) is 0°F0\degree F. In story (B), the temperature difference is 22°F22\degree F.
