Question

It was 12° C when Preston got home from school the weather report shows a storm front moving in that will drop the temperature by 17° C what is the expected temperature

Answer 1

Answer: -5° C

Explanation:

Given : It was 12° C when Preston got home from school . (1)

The weather report shows a storm front moving in that will drop the temperature by 17° C .

We know that in integers we use (-) negative sign to represent drop in quantity.

Thus, the integer represent drop in temperature by 17° C = -17° C (2)

Now, the expected temperature would be (Combine (1) and (2))=

12°C - 17° C = -5° C

Hence, the expected temperature is -5° C.

Answer 2

The expected temperature is
`-5\°\ C`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the expected temperature subtract 17° C from 12° C

so

`12\°\ C-17\°\ C=-5\°\ C`

therefore

The expected temperature is
`-5\°\ C`
