Please solve your other problem first before you try tackling this one. You need to know what to do with negative temperatures.
At noon the temperature was -3° C. Over the next four hours the temperature dropped another 15 degrees. Then every hour until 7:00 the temperature rose 2 degrees. What was the temperature at 7:00?
To solve this problem, we need to break it down step by step. Let's start with the information provided:
1. From 6:30 am to 4:30 pm on Monday, the temperature rose 12 degreesC.
2. From 4:30 pm on Monday to 5:45 am on Tuesday, the temperature dropped 7 degreesC.
3. The temperature at 5:45 am on Tuesday was -2 degreesC.
We want to find the temperature at 6:30 am on Monday.
First, let's determine the change in temperature from 6:30 am to 4:30 pm on Monday. We know it rose by 12 degreesC during this period.
Next, let's determine the change in temperature from 4:30 pm on Monday to 5:45 am on Tuesday. We know it dropped by 7 degreesC during this period.
Now, we need to calculate the net change in temperature from 6:30 am on Monday to 5:45 am on Tuesday. To do this, we can combine the rise of 12 degreesC and the drop of 7 degreesC.
12 degreesC (rise) - 7 degreesC (drop) = 5 degreesC
This means that overall, the temperature increased by 5 degreesC from 6:30 am on Monday to 5:45 am on Tuesday.
To find the temperature at 6:30 am on Monday, we can subtract 5 degreesC from the temperature at 5:45 am on Tuesday (-2 degreesC), because the temperature increased overall.
-2 degreesC - 5 degreesC = -7 degreesC
Therefore, the temperature at 6:30 am on Monday was -7 degreesC.
