Question

The freezer on mr. softee's truck is broken! it is very important that the temperature of the freezer is exactly - 5 Fahrenheit., because if the freezer is colder, the ice cream will be too hard to eat, and if the freezer is warmer the ice cream can melt! The current temperature of the freezer is 32 Fahrenheit. The repairman came and fixed the freezer so that the temperature dropped 42 Fahrenheit.

Did the repairmen fix the freezer? model the situation on a vertical number line.

"please answer this math question as soon as you can" :)

Answer 1

No he didn't fix it. He made the temp -10. To fix he should of dropped the temp by 37. 32-42=-10 / 32-37=-5

Hope this helps
