Solve the following problem:
It was 13°C yesterday, but the temperature changed by −18.6° overnight. What is the temperature now?(1 point)
The temperature now can be found by adding the change in temperature (-18.6°C) to the initial temperature (13°C).
13°C + (-18.6°C) = -5.6°C
Therefore, the temperature now is -5.6°C.
To find the temperature now, we need to subtract the change in temperature from yesterday's temperature.
Yesterday's temperature: 13°C
Change in temperature: -18.6°
To find the current temperature, perform the subtraction:
13°C - 18.6° = -5.6°C
Therefore, the current temperature is -5.6°C.
To solve this problem, we need to find the final temperature after the overnight change. To do that, we'll subtract the change in temperature from the initial temperature.
1. Start with the initial temperature: 13°C
2. Subtract the change in temperature: -18.6°
To subtract negative numbers, we can change the sign and add the absolute values. So, -18.6° becomes +18.6°.
3. Subtract the change in temperature from the initial temperature: 13°C - 18.6° = -5.6°C
The temperature now is -5.6°C.
