Question

At midnight in Minnesota, the temperature was -59. Over the next three hours, the

temperature dropped 7. What was the temperature at 3:00 a.m.?
A-12
B-5°
C -2°
D 2

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

1. Write the equation: -5-7. We get that equation because we start at -5 and then it drops 7 degrees. "dropped" is the keyword that tells us to subtract.

2. Solve the equation: -12 degrees. You can solve it very easily by plugging it into a calculator or mentally.

P.S: You typed the question wrong, you said 56 degrees instead of 5. That really had me stumbled lol.

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A. -12°

Explanation:

The final value is found by adding the change to the initial value.

final temp = initial temp + change in temp

final temp = -5° + (-7°) = (-5 -7)°

3 am temp = -12°
