Solve the following problem:
It was −8°F this morning, but the temperature has gone up 11° over the course of the day. What is the temperature now?(1 point)
Responses
11°F
11 degrees F
−3°F
negative 3 degrees F
3°F
3 degrees F
19°F
The temperature now would be -8°F + 11°F = 3°F.
negative or positive
The temperature now is negative, specifically -3°F.
There are some areas of land on Earth that are below sea level. Imagine you are at the Dead Sea in Africa, which has an elevation of about −1,410 feet (1,410 feet below sea level). You then climb up 125 feet. What is your new elevation?(1 point)
Responses
−1,335 feet
negative 1,335 feet
−1,535 feet
negative 1,535 feet
1,285 feet
1,285 feet
−1,285 feet
Your new elevation would be -1,410 feet + 125 feet = -1,285 feet.
To solve the problem, we first need to find the final temperature by adding the change in temperature to the initial temperature.
Initial temperature: -8°F
Change in temperature: +11°F
Adding the change in temperature to the initial temperature:
-8°F + 11°F = 3°F
Therefore, the temperature now is 3°F.
To solve this problem, we need to add the increase in temperature to the initial temperature.
The initial temperature was -8°F, and it has gone up by 11° over the course of the day.
To find the current temperature, we add the increase (11°) to the initial temperature (-8°F):
-8°F + 11° = 3°F
So, the current temperature is 3°F.
