Question

In an experiment , the temperature of a solution is -5/8 degrees. The temperature drops 1 1/2 degrees. What is the temperature after the drop?

Answer 1

- 2 1/8 degrees

Explanation:

Given

Initial temperature of a solution = -5/8 degrees

Amount drop = 1 1/2 degrees

Temperature after the drop = -5/8 - 1 1/2

Temperature after the drop = -5/8 - 3/2

Temperature after the drop = -5-12/8

Temperature after the drop = -17/8

Hence the temperature after the drop is - 2 1/8 degrees
