Question
On a given morning, the temperature was 64℉. The temperature dropped 7℉ and then rose 11℉. How much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 64℉?(1 point)
Responses
Fall 4℉
Fall 4 ℉

Fall 7 ℉
Rise 11℉
Rise 11 ℉
The temperature needs to fall 7℉ to return to the initial temperature of 64℉.
To solve this problem, we need to track the changes in temperature and determine how much it needs to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 64℉.
Given that the temperature initially was 64℉, it dropped 7℉ and then rose 11℉. We need to calculate the net change in temperature.
To calculate the net change, we add the rise of 11℉ to the initial temperature and then subtract the drop of 7℉.
64℉ + 11℉ - 7℉ = 68℉
So, the current temperature is 68℉. To return to the initial temperature of 64℉, the temperature needs to fall 4℉. Therefore, the correct answer is "Fall 4℉".
To determine how much the temperature needs to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 64℉, we first need to calculate the net change in temperature.
The temperature initially dropped by 7℉, so the temperature is now at 64℉ - 7℉ = 57℉.
Next, the temperature rose by 11℉, so the new temperature is 57℉ + 11℉ = 68℉.
To determine how much the temperature needs to rise or fall to return to 64℉, we subtract the initial temperature from the new temperature:
68℉ - 64℉ = 4℉.
Therefore, the temperature needs to fall by 4℉ to return to the initial temperature of 64℉.
