Question

One morning, the temperature was -5 ferenhight. By noon, the temperature had increased 12 degrees. What was the temperature at noon? Use a model to explain your answer.

Answer 1

`Noon\ Temperature = 7F`

Explanation:

Given

Initial Temperature = -5F

Change (by noon) = 12 degrees

Required

Determine the temperature at noon

The temperature by noon is calculated as thus;

`Noon\ Temperature = Initial\ Temperature + Change`

Substitute values for Initial temperature and change

`Noon\ Temperature = -5F + 12`

`Noon\ Temperature = 7F`

Hence, the temperature at noon is 7F
