Question

which was the warmest temperature recorded?
time | 9:00 a.m. | 11:00 a.m. | 1:00 p.m. | 3:00 p.m. | 5:00 p.m. | 7:00 p.m.
temperature (in degrees celsius) | -4 | -2.5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | -1
the warmest temperature recorded was \boxed{} degrees celsius.

Explanation:

Step1: Compare the given temperatures

We have the temperatures: -4, -2.5, 2, 3, 0, -1.

Step2: Recall the rule for comparing numbers

Positive numbers are greater than 0 and negative numbers. Among positive numbers, the larger the number, the greater it is.

Comparing 2 and 3, we know that \(3>2\). And 3 is greater than 0 and all negative numbers (-4, -2.5, -1)
