Answer:

Hey there!

Given Information:

  • Starting temperature: 21 F
  • Final temperature: -3 F

Would want to know:

  • How many degrees did the temperature drop

Solve

This is just a subtraction problem, so we can write 21-(-3)=24.

The temperature dropped 24 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let me know if this helps :)
