Answer:

-12°F o -11°F.

Explanation:

We have two statements, which are the following:

- the temperature In Pittsburgh Is -13 ° F

- the temperature in Cleveland Is-10 ° F

Then they tell us, "the temperature in Chicago is higher than the temperature in Pittsburgh"

Which means that the statement that helps us is the first, which is the one that tells us about Pittsburgh, now, a higher number since it is a higher temperature, we know that when a number is negative, the higher the number is , actually the number is less, therefore the temperature should be at least -12 ° F or -11 ° F. That is, anyone with sense between the city's temperature ranges greater than -13.
