Final answer:
To determine the outside temperature, we add the temperature of dry ice (-109.3°F) to the difference (184.9°F), resulting in an outside temperature of 75.6°F.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to find the outside temperature given that the temperature of dry ice is -109.3°F and that this temperature is 184.9°F less than the outside temperature. To find the outside temperature, we can set up the following equation:
Outside Temperature = Dry Ice Temperature + Difference
Then plug in the given values:
Outside Temperature = (-109.3°F) + 184.9°F
Doing the calculation:
Outside Temperature = 75.6°F
So, the outside temperature is 75.6°F.
