The temperature outside changed from 69°F to 45°F over a period of eight days. If the temperature changed by the same amount each day, what was the daily temperature change?
A.-24°F
B.24°F**
C.-3°F
D.3°F
That is not correct its asking you the daily not the overall.
is it D?
whats 24 divided by 8?
Since the total temp change is 24 you need to divide that by the number of days to get your answer.
Yes 24 divided by 8 is 3
do you understand the question?
and how you get the answer?
Davonte -- Madeline explained it very well. Please go back and read what she posted.
To find the daily temperature change, we need to calculate the difference between the starting temperature and the ending temperature and then divide that difference by the number of days.
Starting temperature: 69°F
Ending temperature: 45°F
Number of days: 8
To calculate the temperature change, we subtract the starting temperature from the ending temperature: 45°F - 69°F = -24°F
Next, we divide the temperature change by the number of days: -24°F ÷ 8 = -3°F
Therefore, the daily temperature change is -3°F.
The correct answer is C. -3°F.
