Question

Following is the list of temperatures of five places in India, on a particular day of the year.
Place Temperature
Siachen ${10}^{\circ }Cbelow{0}^{\circ }C$ $\dots \dots \dots$

Ahmedabad ${30}^{\circ }Cabove{0}^{\circ }C$ $\dots \dots \dots$

Srinagar $5^{\circ }Cbelow{0}^{\circ }C$ $\dots \dots \dots$

Write the temperature of these places in the form of integers in the blank column.

Answer 1

As per the question, we have to represent the temperature of the given places in the form of integers.

We take $0^{\circ }$ as the reference. Any temperature above that will be positive and any temperature below that will be negative.

The table given below shows the temperature of different places in the form of integers according to the conventions.

Place Temperature
Siachen ${10}^{\circ }C\text{below}{0}^{\circ }C=-{10}^{\circ }C$
Ahmedabad ${30}^{\circ }C\text{above}{0}^{\circ }C={30}^{\circ }C$
Srinagar $5^{\circ }C\text{below}{0}^{\circ }C=-5^{\circ }C$
