Question

The temperature on Thursday afternoon was 77 °F. A thunderstorm rolled through, and the temperature dropped by 10 °C. What was the temperature after the storm?

Answer 1

15 °C

Explanation:

°C = (°F - 32) * (5/9)

Given that the initial temperature was 77 °F and it dropped by 10 °C, we can calculate the final temperature.

Initial temperature: 77 °F

Converting to Celsius:

°C = (77 - 32) * (5/9)

°C ≈ 25

The temperature dropped by 10 °C, so the final temperature is:

Final temperature = Initial temperature - Temperature drop

Final temperature ≈ 25 - 10 = 15 °C

Therefore, the temperature after the storm was approximately 15 °C.
