What is the difference between the temperature at 7:30 and the temperature at 9:27? Make sure to show whether the change was positive or negative.
The answer is 6, reaosn is because 6/8 is not simplified, so if we divide both sides by 2 (the numerator and the denominator), we can get a simplified fraction, which is 3/4. Steps: 6/8, 6 divided by 2/8 divided by 2, 3/4.
