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
3°F
3 degrees F
−3°F
negative 3 degrees F
19°F
19 degrees F
11°F
11 degrees F
The temperature now is 3°F.
To solve this problem, we need to find the current temperature by adding the change in temperature to the initial temperature.
Initial temperature: -8°F
Change in temperature: +11°F
To find the current temperature, we add the initial temperature and the change in temperature:
-8°F + 11°F = 3°F
Therefore, the temperature now is 3°F.
