At midnight, the temperature was -8°F. At noon, the temperature was 23°F. Which expression represents the increase in temperature?
the increase is just the difference between high and low. So do the subtraction
Hey @Anonymous
To find the increase in temperature, we need to subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.
The initial temperature at midnight is -8°F and the final temperature at noon is 23°F.
So, the expression that represents the increase in temperature is:
23°F - (-8°F)
Simplifying this expression:
23°F + 8°F
which gives
31°F.
Therefore, the increase in temperature is 31°F.
To find the increase in temperature, we need to subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.
The initial temperature at midnight is -8°F, and the final temperature at noon is 23°F.
The expression that represents the increase in temperature is:
23°F - (-8°F)
To simplify this expression, we need to change the subtraction of a negative number to addition.
23°F + 8°F
Therefore, the expression that represents the increase in temperature is:
23°F + 8°F = 31°F
