Question

At noon, a cold front moved

into Monroe, Ohio and the
temperature fell 24°F in 7 hours.
If the temperature was -2°F at
7:00 p.m., what was the
temperature at noon?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the temperature fell 24°F in 7 hours.

so, when it had -2°F at 7pm, it had 24° more 7 hours before that.

that is 22°F at 12pm (noon).
