Question

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees. By the end of the day the temperature dropped to -6 degrees.

Answer 1

Answer:

The choice of the answer is fourth option that is -61 degrees.

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Explanation:

Given:

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees

Start temperature = 55°Centigrade. (Initial temperature)

End of the Day      = -6°Centigrade. (Final temperature)

To Find:

How far did the temperature drop?

Solution:

We will have,

$\textrm{Temperature drop}=\textrm{Final temperature}-\textrm{Initial temperature}$

Substituting the above values in it we get

$\textrm{Temperature drop}=-6-55\\\\\therefore \textrm{Temperature drop}=-61\° centigrade$

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.
