Question

The temperature is 8.5 degrees Fahrenheit at 7:00 am. During the next 4 hours, the

temperature decreases by 15 degrees. What is the temperature at 11:00 am?

A) 6.5 degrees F
B) -6.5 degrees F
C) -22.5 degrees F
D) 22.5 degrees F

Answer 1

After decreasing the temperature by 15 degrees from the initial 8.5 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature at 11:00 am is -6.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the temperature at 11:00 am after a decrease of 15 degrees Fahrenheit from an initial temperature of 8.5 degrees Fahrenheit at 7:00 am. To find the new temperature, subtract the decrease from the initial temperature:

8.5°F - 15°F = -6.5°F

Therefore, the temperature at 11:00 am is -6.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
