Question

the temperature of the water in Emily's fish tank was 78 degrees F on Sunday the water temperature was changed by -3 on Monday and then by 3 degrees on Tuesday what integer represents the temperature change of the water from Sunday to Tuesday what was the water temperature on Tuesday

Answer 1

To solve this problem, let us analyze this step by step. The temperature for each day is as follows:

 

Water temperature on Sunday = 78 degrees F

Water temperature on Monday = changed by -3 degrees F

Water temperature on Tuesday = changed by 3 degrees F

 

We can see that the total change of water temperature from Sunday to Tuesday is:

-3 + 3 = 0

Therefore there is zero overall change. There the integer which represents the temperature change is “0”.

 

Since the overall change in water temperature is zero, hence the temperature on Sunday and on Tuesday is similar.

Water temperature on Tuesday = 78 degrees F
