Question

The temperature on Monday was 5 Degrees. The temperature on Thursday was - 8 degrees. Was the overall change in the temperature positive, negative, or 0? Why ? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Negative change

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Monday\ Temperature = 5\ deg$

$Thursday\ Temperature = -8\ deg$

First, we need to calculate the overall change in temperature

This is calculated by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature

$Overall\ Change = Thursday\ Temperature - Monday\ Temperature$

$Overall\ Change = -8\ deg - 5\ deg$

$Overall\ Change = -13\ deg$

The overall change shows a negative change in the temperature.

This is as a result of a drop in temperature from Monday to Thursday
