Question

In the morning, the temperature at the peak of a mountain was -8°C. The temperature at the foot of the mountain was 7°C higher. In the afternoon, the temperatures at the peak and the foot rose by 5°C and 3°C respectively. temperatures Find the difference between the at the peak and at the foot of the mountain in the afternoon. ​

Answer 1

The difference between the Temperature at the peak and at the foot of the mountain in the afternoon was 5°C

Explanation:

In the morning,

Temperature at the peak = -8°C

Temperature at the foot was 7°C higher so,

Temperature at the foot = -8 + 7

Temperature at the foot = -1°C

In the afternoon

Temperature at the peak rose by 5°C

so,

Temperature at the peak = -8 + 5

Temperature at the peak(afternoon) = -3°C

Temperature at the foot rose by 3°C

Temperature at the foot =-1 + 3°C

Temperature at the foot(afternoon) = 2°C

The difference between the temperature at the peak and at the foot is,

Temp at foot - temp at peak = 2°C -(-3°C) = 2 + 3 = 5°C

The difference was 5°C
