From midnight to 6:00 am, the temperature rose 8°C. At 6:00 am, the temperature was −20°C. What was the temperature at midnight?
so just to make sure i do:
8+(-20)=-12?
im pretty sure thats right but just checking and helping other students.
From midnight to 6:00 A.M. the temperature increased by 8 C.
So -20 C - 8 C = -28 C was T at midnight.
To find the temperature at midnight, we need to subtract the 8°C rise in temperature from the temperature at 6:00 am (-20°C).
Here are the step-by-step calculations:
-20°C - 8°C = -12°C
Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -12°C. Your calculation of 8 + (-20) = -12 is correct!
To find the temperature at midnight, you need to subtract the rise in temperature from the temperature at 6:00 am.
You correctly calculated the temperature rise as 8°C. Now, subtract this value from the temperature at 6:00 am (-20°C).
-20°C - 8°C = -28°C
Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -28°C.
