Question

On Tuesday morning, the temperature was recorded at 5°C. Over the course of the day, the temperature dropped 7°. After this drop, what temperature will be recorded?

Answer 1

`-2^(\circ)C`

Explanation:

We have been given that on Tuesday morning, the temperature was recorded at 5°C. Over the course of the day, the temperature dropped 7°. We are asked to find the temperature after the drop.

We know that drop is temperature means that decrease in temperature.

To find the temperature after drop we will subtract 7 from initial temperature.

`\text{Temperature after drop}=5^(\circ)C-7^(\circ)C`

`\text{Temperature after drop}=-2^(\circ)C`

Therefore, the temperature will be
`-2^(\circ)C` after the drop.
