Question

One day, the temperature was 63°F. During the night, the temperature was 38°F. If t represents the change in temperature, what is t?

A. -35°F
B. -25°F
C. 28°F
D. 35°F

Answer 1

B. -25°F is the correct answer.

Explanation:

B. -25°F

The change in temperature is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature. If the final temperature is t₂ and the initial is t₁, the change t

= t₂ - t₁

Then t

= 38° - 63°

= -25°
