You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

To find the new temperature after a drop of 9 degrees, you need to subtract 9 from the initial temperature of 5°F.

Step 1: Start with the initial temperature of 5°F.
Step 2: Subtract 9 from 5.
5 - 9 = -4

Therefore, the new temperature is -4°F.

To find the new temperature after the overnight drop, you need to subtract the number of degrees the temperature dropped from the initial temperature.

In this case, the initial temperature was 5° F, and it dropped 9 degrees. To find the new temperature, subtract 9 from 5:

5 - 9 = -4

Therefore, the new temperature after the overnight drop is -4° F.
