Question

At 2:00 am, the temperature in Salt Lake City was -4°F. By noon, the temperature was 30°F. What

was the change in temperature between 2:00 am and noon?

Answer 1

-4 degrees turn into 30 degrees.

Start at -4.

`-4`

Move 4 degrees higher.

`-4 + 4`

`0`

Move 30 degrees higher.

`0 + 30 = 30`

You moved 34 degrees up.

So, the change in temperature from 2 am to noon was 34 degrees.
