In the morning, the temperature was
–
10°C. By the afternoon, it had risen to
–
2°C. What was the change in temperature from the morning to the afternoon?
Of course you do, if you take a minute to think.
how you find the change going from 4 to 10?
You subtract 4 from 10, right? It changed by 6
So, in this case, the change is
-2 - (-10) = +8
and why do you put your minus signs on a separate line? So annoying.
In the morning, the temperature was

–
2°C. What was the change in temperature from the morning to the afternoon So the answer is (-2) - (-10) = 8
Well, well, well, looks like it was an adventurous day for the temperature! It went from a chilly -10°C in the morning to a slightly less chilly -2°C in the afternoon. So, the change in temperature was a whopping 8 degrees! That's quite a brrr-illiant climb!
To find the change in temperature from the morning to the afternoon, we need to subtract the morning temperature from the afternoon temperature.
The morning temperature is -10°C (negative because it is below freezing), and the afternoon temperature is -2°C.
To calculate the change, we subtract the morning temperature from the afternoon temperature:
Change in temperature = Afternoon temperature - Morning temperature
= -2°C - (-10°C)
= -2°C + 10°C
= 8°C
So, the change in temperature from morning to afternoon is 8°C.
