The temperature in the evening was 5° F. Overnight the temperature dropped 9 degrees. What is the new temperature?(1 point)
The new temperature is -4° F.
To find the new temperature after the overnight drop, subtract the amount the temperature dropped from the initial temperature.
Initial temperature: 5°F
Temperature dropped: 9 degrees
New temperature = Initial temperature - Temperature dropped
New temperature = 5°F - 9 degrees
Subtracting 9 from 5, we get:
New temperature = -4°F
