The temperature on Monday was -1.5°C. The temperature on Tuesday was 2.6°C less than the temperature on Monday. What was the temperature on Tuesday?

Respuesta :

Answer: -4.1 degrees celsius

--------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Start at -1.5 on the number line. Then move 2.6 units to the left to arrive at -4.1

Or you can compute -1.5 - 2.6 = -4.1 to get the same result. When we subtract a number from a negative, you are effectively adding the two values and making the final result negative. So, 1.5+2.6 = 4.1 which turns into -4.1
