Question

The temperature at 8:00 a.m. was –6°F. By 4:00 p.m. the temperature was 17°F. What was the change in temperature from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.?

Answer 1

Answer:

$23^{\circ}F$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the temperature at 8:00 a.m. was –6°F. By 4:00 p.m. the temperature was 17°F.  We are asked to find the change in temperature from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The change in temperature would be final temperature minus initial temperature.

$\text{The change in temperature}=17^{\circ}F-(-6^{\circ}F)$

$\text{The change in temperature}=17^{\circ}F+6^{\circ}F$

$\text{The change in temperature}=23^{\circ}F$

Therefore, the change in temperature from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. is 23 degree Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

It went up 23 Fahrenheit
