On Saturday morning the temperature was 76°F. The temperature dropped 9°F and then rose 13°F. How much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 76°F? (1 point)
Fall 13°F
Rise 4°F
Fall 4°F
Rise 5°F
To find out how much the temperature needs to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature of 76°F, let's break down the given steps:
1. The temperature dropped 9°F. So, the temperature is now 76°F - 9°F = 67°F.
2. The temperature then rose 13°F. So, the temperature is now 67°F + 13°F = 80°F.
To return to the initial temperature of 76°F, the temperature needs to fall from 80°F to 76°F. Therefore, the temperature needs to fall 4°F.
