Answer: \(137^{\circ}F\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The average temperature at the South Pole = -45º F  

The average  temperature on the Equator = 92º F.    

To find how much warmer is the average  temperature on the Equator than at the South Pole, we need to find the difference in the temperature.

Difference in temperature = \(92^{\circ}F-(-45^{\circ})F=92^{\circ}F+45^{\circ}F=137^{\circ}F\)

Hence, the average  temperature on the Equator is  \(137^{\circ}F\) warmer than at the South Pole.
