Question

At 6 A.M the temperature in Hibbing, Minnesota, was -35° F. If the temperature had risen 29° by 2 P.M and
fallen 18° by 6 P.M., what was the temperature at 6 P.M.?

Answer 1

Answer:

-12°F

Step-by-step explanation:

2 P.M

-35° F + 29° F= -6° F

The temperature had risen by 29°F meaning it went up by 29.

Adding negative 35 and positive 29 is the same as subtracting 35 from 29.

29 - 35 = -6

6 P.M

-6° F - 18°F  = -12°F

The temperature had fallen by 18°F meaning it went down by 18°F.

p.s don't forget the label °F
