The greatest possible temperature is 5^{\circ} \mathrm{C} and least possible temperature is -15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that according to weather forecaster the temperature will be about -5 degree celsius given or take 10 degree”

Need to determine greatest possible temperature and least possible temperature.

Give and take in given statement means a temperature can go up by 10 degrees and can go down by 10 degrees

So greatest possible temperature will be -5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}+10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

Least possible temperature will be -5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

Hence according to weather forecaster, greatest possible temperature = 5^{\circ} \mathrm{C} and least possible temperature = -15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
