Find the change in temperature or elevation.
1) From -16 degrees C to 23 degrees C
2) From -47 degrees C to -38 degrees C
3) From 9 degrees F to -12 degrees F
4) From -16 degrees F to -27 degrees F
1) 23 + 16 = 39 degrees increase
2) 47 - 38 = 9 increase
I'll be glad to check your answers for the last two.
21 decrease
11 decrease
To find the change in temperature or elevation, subtract the initial value from the final value.
1) From -16 degrees C to 23 degrees C:
Change = 23°C - (-16°C)
Change = 39°C
2) From -47 degrees C to -38 degrees C:
Change = -38°C - (-47°C)
Change = 9°C
3) From 9 degrees F to -12 degrees F:
Change = -12°F - 9°F
Change = -21°F
4) From -16 degrees F to -27 degrees F:
Change = -27°F - (-16°F)
Change = -11°F
To find the change in temperature or elevation, simply subtract the initial value from the final value.
Let's calculate the changes for each scenario:
1) From -16 degrees C to 23 degrees C:
Change = 23 degrees C - (-16 degrees C)
= 23 degrees C + 16 degrees C
= 39 degrees C
2) From -47 degrees C to -38 degrees C:
Change = -38 degrees C - (-47 degrees C)
= -38 degrees C + 47 degrees C
= 9 degrees C
3) From 9 degrees F to -12 degrees F:
Change = -12 degrees F - 9 degrees F
= -12 degrees F - 9 degrees F
= -21 degrees F
4) From -16 degrees F to -27 degrees F:
Change = -27 degrees F - (-16 degrees F)
= -27 degrees F + 16 degrees F
= -43 degrees F
Therefore, the changes are:
1) From -16 degrees C to 23 degrees C: 39 degrees C
2) From -47 degrees C to -38 degrees C: 9 degrees C
3) From 9 degrees F to -12 degrees F: -21 degrees F
4) From -16 degrees F to -27 degrees F: -43 degrees F.
