A. $35 loss
B. $19 profit
C. $27 loss***
D. $57 profit
You're right.
I agree
The temperature in your town is 31 degrees F. The radio announcer says the temperature will drop 15 degrees. What will the temperature be? Write an equation to show how you found your answer.
I think the answer is 16 because 31-15=16, I am checking my work FYI.
OK, thanks what about this one:
A deep sea diver must descend or ascend in short steps to equalize pressure with his body. If the sea diver rises to the surface to fast, he may suffer from a physical condition called "the bends." Suppose the driver started at 82 feet below the surface and rose in 5 steps of 15 feet each. Use an integer to describe his new position in relation to the water surface.
I think the answer is 75 feet below sea level.
I agree with your answers except for the last one. Think about it.
a i redid it and came up with 127 feet below sea level
but i feel as if this is wrong
Yep. It's definitely wrong.
The diver starts at 82 feet below the surface.
He RISES 15 * 5 feet.
Now where is he?
7 feet below sea level cause 15*5=75
82-75=7
And if that is right then here is my last one: One day at 3:00 a.m. the temperature was -13 degrees in Kodiak, Alaska. At 10:00 a.m. the temperature was 22 degrees. What was the average change in temperature per hour?
I don't know how to do this one.
Yes, 7 feet below sea level.
13 + 22 = 35 degrees
3 a.m. to 10 a.m. = 7 hours
Can you take it from there?
