Question

The temperature was 10°F. It dropped so that the temperature was 0°F. ​___°F represents the change in temperature. Is it 10 or -10

Answer 1

`Change = - 10^(\circ)F`

Explanation:

Given

`Initial = 10^(\circ)F`

`New = 0^(\circ)F`

Required

Determine the change in temperature

This is calculated by:

`Change = New - Initial`

Substitute values for New and Initial Temperatures

`Change = 0^(\circ)F - 10^(\circ)F`

`Change = - 10^(\circ)F`

Hence, the change in temperature is:
`- 10^(\circ)F`
