Answer:

Temperature needs to drop by 61.5°

Explanation:

Given that:

Freezing temperature of ocean water = - 2.5

Freezing temperature of fresh water = 0

Freezing temperature = anti-freeze = - 64

If temperature has dropped to freezing point for ocean water, then current temperature = - 2.5

How many more degrees must the temperature drop for temperature to turn solid :

Freezing temperature of anti-freeze - current temperature

-64 - (-2.5)

-64 + 2.5

-61.5

-61.5(the temperature needs to drop by 61.5°)
