Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Starting temperature = - 5°F

Temperature at midday =increase in temperature by 78°F = (starting temperature + 78°F)

Temperature at nightfall = decrease in temperature by 32°F = ( temperature at midday - 32°F)

Temperature at midday:

(-5°F + 78°F) = 73°F

Temperature at nightfall:

(Temperature at midday - 32°F)

(73°F - 32°F) = 41°F
