Write an integer to represent the final temperature. The day started out at 6am as 32 degrees rose 24 degrees by noon and dropped 14 degrees at 6pm.
32 + 24 - 14 = ?
32 + 24=56
56-14= 42
42 is the answer?
Yes. At 6:00 it was 42 degrees.
To represent the final temperature, we need to calculate the changes in temperature throughout the day. We can start with the initial temperature of 32 degrees at 6 am and make the necessary adjustments.
First, let's calculate the temperature at noon. Since the temperature rose by 24 degrees, we can add this to the initial temperature:
32 degrees + 24 degrees = 56 degrees
So, the temperature at noon is 56 degrees.
Next, we need to determine the temperature at 6 pm. Since the temperature dropped by 14 degrees from noon, we can subtract this from the noon temperature:
56 degrees - 14 degrees = 42 degrees
Therefore, the final temperature at 6 pm is 42 degrees.
Hence, the integer to represent the final temperature is 42.
