the thermometer shows what the temperature outside was early in the morning. if the temperature has dropped 24°, what should the new temperature be? 90° 80° 70° 60° 50° 40° 30° 20° 39° 41° 51° 54°
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Determine initial temperature
The thermometer shows the initial temperature is $65^{\circ}$ (by observing the level of the red - liquid in the thermometer).
Step2: Calculate new temperature
The temperature has dropped $24^{\circ}$. So we subtract 24 from the initial temperature. Let the new temperature be $T$. Then $T = 65 - 24$. $T=41^{\circ}$
Answer:
$41^{\circ}$
