Question

A city in China is one of the world's coldest cities and is known for its ice and snow festivals. In February, the average nightly low temperature is −40°C and the average daily high temperature is −9°C. What is the temperature drop (in °C) from day to night?

Answer 1

Answer: the temperature drop from day to night in the city is 31°C.

Explanation:

o calculate the temperature drop from day to night, we need to find the difference between the average daily high temperature and the average nightly low temperature.

Temperature drop = Average daily high temperature - Average nightly low temperature

Temperature drop = (-9°C) - (-40°C)

Temperature drop = -9°C + 40°C

Temperature drop = 31°C
