The temperature at 5:00 was -6 degrees Celsius. Four hours later, it was -10 degrees Celsius. What was the change in temperature?
To find the change in temperature, subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.
Final temperature: -10 degrees Celsius
Initial temperature: -6 degrees Celsius
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Change in temperature = (-10 degrees Celsius) - (-6 degrees Celsius)
Change in temperature = -10 degrees Celsius + 6 degrees Celsius
Change in temperature = -4 degrees Celsius
Therefore, the change in temperature was -4 degrees Celsius.
To find the change in temperature, we need to subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.
Initial temperature: -6 degrees Celsius
Final temperature: -10 degrees Celsius
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Change in temperature = (-10) - (-6)
To subtract a negative number, we can change the signs and add the numbers instead.
Change in temperature = -10 + 6
Therefore, the change in temperature is -4 degrees Celsius.
