Question

On a given morning the temperature was 71°F. The temperature dropped 5°F and then rose 8°F. How much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 71°F?
A) Fall 8°F
B) Fall 3°F
C) Rise 8°F
D) Rise 5°F

Answer 1

B) it needs to fall 3

Answer 2

Alright my friend so basically if we subtract 5 from 71 we get 66 plus 8 would be 74 so we would have to drop the temp 3 degrees to get back to 71 so the answer will be option B. fall 3 degrees
