Question

The temperature one morning was -5 Fahrenheit. Later in the day, it got warmer, and the temperature raised by 11 Fahrenheit. What was the new temperature?

a) 6°F
b) -16°F
c) -10°F
d) 16°F

Answer 1

-5+11=6

So the new temperature would be a)

Answer 2

The new temperature is 6 Fahrenheit degrees after the temperature rose by 11 degrees from an initial -5 Fahrenheit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature started at -5 Fahrenheit and increased by 11 Fahrenheit degrees. To calculate the new temperature, we add the increase to the starting temperature:

-5°F + 11°F = 6°F

Therefore, the new temperature after the increase is 6 Fahrenheit degrees.
