Question

One day, the temperature was 63°

f. during the night, the temperature was 38°
f. if t represents the change in temperature, what is t?

Answer 1

The answer is 25. I subtract 38 from 63.

Answer 2

-25°

Explanation:

The change in temperature is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature. If the final temperature is t₂ and the initial is t₁, the change t

= t₂ - t₁

Hence t

= 38° - 63°

= -25°
