it was a 8 degrees at nightfall. The temperature dropped 10 degrees by midnight. What was the temperature at midnight?
-2 is the answear
Right.
To find the temperature at midnight, you need to subtract 10 degrees from the temperature at nightfall.
Nightfall temperature = 8 degrees
Temperature drop = 10 degrees
Therefore, the temperature at midnight can be calculated as:
Temperature at midnight = Nightfall temperature - Temperature drop
Temperature at midnight = 8 degrees - 10 degrees
Temperature at midnight = -2 degrees
So, the temperature at midnight was -2 degrees.
