A. 92 + 4
B. 92 - (-4)
C. 92-4
D. -92+ 4

Answer 1

Hello There!

'Fell' means decreased which means you'd use subtraction
You are simply taking away (subtracting) 4 from 92
The correct expression is C. 92 - 4
Just so you know, the temperature in the night would have been 88 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
