Question

at 2:00 pm the temperature is 18°f. at 10:00 pm the temperature is -9°f. what is the change in temperature from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify initial and final temps

Initial temp $T_1 = 18^{\circ}F$, final temp $T_2=- 9^{\circ}F$.

Step2: Calculate temperature change

$\Delta T=T_2 - T_1=-9 - 18=-27^{\circ}F$. The magnitude of change is $27^{\circ}F$.

Answer:

$27$
