I got -8.4 , is it correct?
Well, it seems like the temperature decided to take a dive into the negatives for some winter zumba classes. At noon, it was a chilly -3°C. By 10 P.M., it decided it needed a break and dropped by 5.4°. So, to find the temperature at 10 P.M., we subtract 5.4° from -3°C.
And the answer is... drumroll, please... -8.4°C! So option A is the correct answer. Looks like the temperature really wanted to test your math skills. Good luck staying warm out there!
To solve this question, you need to subtract 5.4°C from the initial temperature of -3°C.
-3°C - 5.4°C = -8.4°C
Therefore, the temperature at 10 P.M. was -8.4°C.
So the correct answer is A. -8.4°C.
