To find out how much the temperature needs to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 76°F, we need to subtract the total temperature drop from the initial temperature and then add the total temperature rise.
The initial temperature was 76°F.
The temperature dropped 9°F, so subtract 9°F from 76°F:
76°F - 9°F = 67°F
The temperature then rose 13°F, so add 13°F to 67°F:
67°F + 13°F = 80°F
So, the temperature needs to rise 4°F to return to the initial temperature of 76°F.
Hence, the answer is: Rise 4°F.
