Question

The temperature dropped 18°F in 3 hours. The final temperature is -7°F. What was the

starting temperature? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

11 °F

Explanation:

The problem explains the last temperature is -7 °F and in the process the temperature dropped 18 °F, we can then make a simple equation for the starting temperature

ST-18°F=FT

ST: starting temperature

FT: final temperature

ST-18=-7

ST=-7+18=11 °F
