Solve the following problem:
It was 13°C yesterday, but the temperature changed by −18.6° overnight. What is the temperature now?(1 point)
°C
To find the current temperature, we need to subtract the change in temperature from the temperature yesterday.
Temperature now = Temperature yesterday - Change in temperature overnight
Temperature now = 13°C - (-18.6°C)
Remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
Temperature now = 13°C + 18.6°C
Temperature now = 31.6°C
Therefore, the temperature now is 31.6°C.
To find the current temperature after the overnight change, we need to subtract the change in temperature from the previous temperature.
Previous temperature: 13°C
Change in temperature: -18.6°C
To find the current temperature, we can use the formula:
Current temperature = Previous temperature + Change in temperature
Substituting the values, we get:
Current temperature = 13°C + (-18.6°C)
= 13°C - 18.6°C
= -5.6°C
Therefore, the current temperature is -5.6°C.
