Solve the following word problem. The air temperature at 9 a.m. Is -5.8 degrees Celsius. The air temperature at noon is -1.6 degrees Celsius. What is the change in temperature during these three hours?
To find the change in temperature during these three hours, we need to subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.
Final temperature at noon = -1.6 degrees Celsius
Initial temperature at 9 a.m. = -5.8 degrees Celsius
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Change in temperature = (-1.6) - (-5.8)
Change in temperature = -1.6 + 5.8
Change in temperature = 4.2 degrees Celsius
Therefore, the change in temperature during these three hours is 4.2 degrees Celsius.
To find the change in temperature during these three hours, we need to calculate the difference between the temperature at 9 a.m. and the temperature at noon.
The temperature at 9 a.m. is -5.8 degrees Celsius, and the temperature at noon is -1.6 degrees Celsius.
To find the change in temperature, we subtract the temperature at 9 a.m. from the temperature at noon:
-1.6 - (-5.8) = -1.6 + 5.8 = 4.2 degrees Celsius
Therefore, the change in temperature during these three hours is 4.2 degrees Celsius.
