Question

At 7:00 am, the temperature was 8 c. what was the temperature at midnight if the temperature was 10 lower

Answer 1

The temperature at midnight was -2 degrees Celsius.

Explanation:

At 7:00 am, the temperature was 8 degrees Celsius.

Now, given that at the midnight the temperature was 10 degrees Celsius lower or it fell 10 degrees, so we will subtract 10 degrees from 8 degrees.

Means, the temperature fell 8 degrees to get to zero and then 2 degrees more below from zero.

`8-10=-2`

So, we get -2 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -2 degrees Celsius.

Answer 2

The temperature at midnight was: -2 ° C

Explanation:

We know the following:

Temperature at 7:00 am = 8 ° C

Midnight temperature: 10 degrees lower than the temperature at 7:00 am

Then the temperature at midnight will be equal to the subtraction of:

8 ° C - 10 ° C

The temperature at midnight was:

8 ° C - 10 ° C = -2 ° C
