Given:
Temperature in the morning = 6°F.
By the late afternoon, the temperature had dropped 9°F.
To find:
The temperature by the late afternoon.
Solution:
Temperature by the late afternoon = Morning temperature - Dropped temperature
Using the given values and the above formula, we get
Temperature by the late afternoon = 6°F - 9°F
Temperature by the late afternoon = -3°F
Therefore, the temperature by the late afternoon is -3°F.
