Question

At 5:00 a.m., the temperature outside was 6°F below

zero. By noon, it rose by 15°F. At 7:00 p.m., the
temperature dropped by 5°F. What was the evening
temperature?

Answer 1

The evening temperature is 4° F

Explanation:

6° F below zero is -6.

By noon, it rose by 15° F. -6 + 15 is 9.

So, at noon, it was 9° F.

It dropped by 5° F. 9 - 5 = 4

So, the evening temperature is 4° F.
