The temperature in a town at 5:00 pm was 5 degrees celsius. By Midnight, the temperature had decreased by 12 degrees. What was the temperature at midnight?
well, what is 5 - 12 ?
To calculate the temperature at midnight, we need to subtract 12 degrees from the temperature at 5:00 pm.
Given that the temperature at 5:00 pm was 5 degrees Celsius, we can calculate the temperature at midnight as follows:
Temperature at Midnight = Temperature at 5:00 pm - Decrease in temperature
Temperature at Midnight = 5 degrees Celsius - 12 degrees Celsius
Temperature at Midnight = -7 degrees Celsius
Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -7 degrees Celsius.
