Neil arrives home first and sets the air conditioner at 75 degrees. When Sandy arrives, she lowers it by 10 degrees. What is the magnitude of this change in thermostat levels
The magnitude of the change in thermostat levels is 10 degrees.
The magnitude of the change in thermostat levels can be determined by calculating the difference between the initial setting and the new setting.
Neil initially sets the air conditioner at 75 degrees.
Sandy then lowers it by 10 degrees.
Therefore, the new setting will be 75 - 10 = 65 degrees.
So, the magnitude of the change in thermostat levels is 10 degrees.
