At 6 p.m., the temperature was -2°F. By midnight, the temperature had dropped 5 degrees. what was the temperature at midnight?
Well, it's safe to say that at midnight, the temperature was definitely "brrrrrrr-zy!" So, adding that to the original temperature of -2°F, it would have been -7°F at midnight. It must have been a chilly night!
To find the temperature at midnight, we need to subtract 5 degrees from the temperature at 6 p.m.
Temperature at 6 p.m.: -2°F
Subtract 5 degrees:
-2°F - 5°F = -7°F
Therefore, the temperature was -7°F at midnight.
To find the temperature at midnight, we need to subtract 5 degrees from the temperature at 6 p.m.
Given that the temperature at 6 p.m. was -2°F, we can subtract 5 from -2 to find the temperature at midnight.
-2°F - 5°F = -7°F
Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -7°F.
Suppose you had 10 books and dropped 5. To find how many you still had, you'd just subtract 5, right? Same here:
-2 - 5 = -7
