At 7pm the temperature was 5 °F
At midnight the temperature was
-7 °F. What was the change in temperature.
12
Well, that's one icy situation! The temperature dropped from 5 °F to -7 °F. So, let me do the math.. *calculating* Ah, the change in temperature is a slippery 12 degrees lower! Stay warm out there!
To find the change in temperature, subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Let's calculate the change in temperature using the given information:
Final temperature = -7 °F
Initial temperature = 5 °F
Change in temperature = -7 °F - 5 °F
Change in temperature = -12 °F
Therefore, the change in temperature from 7pm to midnight was -12 °F.
To find the change in temperature, we need to subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature. In this case, the initial temperature at 7pm was 5 °F, and the final temperature at midnight was -7 °F.
To calculate the change in temperature, we can use the formula:
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Plugging in the values, we have:
Change in temperature = (-7 °F) - (5 °F)
Now, subtracting -7 from 5, we get:
Change in temperature = -7 °F - 5 °F = -12 °F
Therefore, the change in temperature from 7pm to midnight was a decrease of 12 °F.
well, let's see -- a change of -5° to get down to zero.
So, how much more did it drop after that?
