Question

The temperature was −10 °F and dropped by 16 °F. Which statement represents the resulting temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? A −10 + 16 = 6 B 10 − (−16) = 26 C −10 − 16 = −26 D −10 − (−16) = −6

Answer 1

the answer would be c because if the temperature started at 10 degrees and it went down,16 degrees then you would be subtracting 16 degrees.

Answer 2

The temperature was −10 °F and dropped by 16 °F. Which statement represents the resulting temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

C −10 − 16 = −26 because you need to add up negative numbers
