Final answer:

The temperature of the freezer, after leaving the door open, would be -8 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature of the freezer is -13 degrees Celsius. When Leanna leaves the freezer door open, the temperature of the freezer rises by 5 degrees. To find the temperature of the freezer now, we need to add the change in temperature to the initial temperature. So, -13 degrees + 5 degrees = -8 degrees Celsius.

(-13)+5=
13-5=8

So the temperature of the freezer is -8° because you take the sign of the larger number.
