Question

The low temperature last week in Iceland was-2.25. The low temperature this week was 1.25. What was the change in temperature from last week to this week?

Answer 1

The change in temperature from last week to this week=3.5

Explanation:

To get the change in temperature from last week to this week, we need to take last week's temperature and subtract it from this week's temperature.

For example;

Change in temperature=This week's temperature-last week's temperature

where;

This week's temperature=-2.25

last week's temperature=1.25

replacing;

Change in temperature=(1.25)-(-2.25)=1.25+2.25=3.5

The change in temperature from last week to this week=3.5
