Question

Yesterday, between noon and midnight, the temperature went down by 22.1°F. If the temperature was -5.1°F at midnight, what was it at noon?

Answer 1

To determine the temperature at noon, the temperature drop of 22.1°F was added to the midnight temperature of -5.1°F, resulting in a noon temperature of 17°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the temperature at noon yesterday if the temperature dropped by 22.1°F between noon and midnight and the temperature at midnight was -5.1°F.

To find the temperature at noon, we need to add the temperature drop to the midnight temperature. Here is a step-by-step explanation:

1. Take the midnight temperature: -5.1°F.
2. Add the temperature drop from noon to midnight: 22.1°F.
3. Calculate the temperature at noon by summing the above values: -5.1°F + 22.1°F = 17°F.

So, the temperature at noon was 17°F.
