Question

One day the temperature was 72°F. That night, the temperature was 44°F. What number represents the change in temperature?

Answer 1

The answer would be 28° Fahrenheit

Reason being is when you would like to find the difference between 2 numbers, you take the larger one and subtract it by the smaller, thus giving you how far apart they are

In this case 72°-44°=28°

Answer 2

28°F

Explanation:

We can find the change in temperature by subtracting 44 from 72:

72 - 44 = 28

So, the change in temperature was 28°F
