Question

The antitoxin was heated to 90ºF before it was given to patients. It was 58º colder when it arrived in Nome. What temperature was that?

Answer 1

New temperature = 90 °F
Original temperature = x
But the original temperature was 58 °F colder meaning it was 58 °F less than the new one
Hence x = 90 - 58 = 32 °F
Answer = 32 °F

Answer 2

32°F

Temp. = 90°F
