What integer represents the overall change in temperature from Monday to Wednesday?
To find the overall change in temperature from Monday to Wednesday, we need to add the changes in temperature on each day.
On Monday, the temperature was 43 degrees Fahrenheit.
On Tuesday, the temperature increased by 6 degrees Fahrenheit, so we add 6 to 43:
43 + 6 = 49
On Wednesday, the temperature decreased by 13 degrees Fahrenheit, so we subtract 13 from 49:
49 - 13 = 36
Therefore, the overall change in temperature from Monday to Wednesday is -36 degrees Fahrenheit.
To find the overall change in temperature from Monday to Wednesday, we need to calculate the sum of the individual changes in temperature on each day.
First, we need to determine the temperature on Tuesday. We can do this by adding the increase of 6 degrees Fahrenheit to Monday's temperature of 43 degrees Fahrenheit:
43 + 6 = 49 degrees Fahrenheit.
Next, to calculate the overall change in temperature from Tuesday to Wednesday, we need to subtract the temperature decrease of 13 degrees Fahrenheit from Tuesday's temperature of 49 degrees Fahrenheit:
49 - 13 = 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
Therefore, the overall change in temperature from Monday to Wednesday is a decrease of 36 degrees Fahrenheit. So the integer that represents this change is -36.
