The temperature dropped from 6 Celsius to -5 Celsius. How many degrees did the temperature drop?
ok thanks
You're welcome.
6 + 5 = ?
To calculate the number of degrees the temperature dropped, we need to find the difference between the initial and final temperatures.
Step 1: Subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.
-5 Celsius - 6 Celsius = -11 Celsius
Step 2: Take the absolute value of the result to eliminate the negative sign, as we are interested in the magnitude of the drop.
|-11 Celsius| = 11 Celsius
Therefore, the temperature dropped 11 degrees Celsius.
