Question

In the morning, the temperature was

–
10°C. By the afternoon, it had risen to
–
2°C. What was the change in temperature from the morning to the afternoon?

Answer 1

If in the morning is was 10 degrees C then that means the temperature dropped 8 degrees C by the time it was the afternoon, but if it was 2 degrees C in the morning, that means it rose 8 degrees by the afternoon

Answer 2

Change in temperature is +8° C

Explanation:

Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature:

=ΔT =
`F_(T) - I_(T)`

= (- 2° C)- (- 10° C)

=
`- 2 + 10`

∴ Change in temperature = + 8° C
