On Friday morning the temperature was 67°F. The temperature dropped 6°F and then rose 10°F. How much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 67°F?(1 point)
Responses
To return to the initial temperature of 67°F, the temperature needs to rise or fall by 4°F.
To return to the initial temperature of 67°F, we need to find the net change in temperature after it dropped 6°F and then rose 10°F.
First, let's calculate the total change in the temperature:
Temperature drop: -6°F
Temperature rise: +10°F
Total change = -6°F + 10°F = 4°F
Therefore, the temperature needs to rise or fall by 4°F to return to the initial temperature of 67°F.
