Question

If the temperature started at 8 degrees celcius at Noon and it dropped 10 degrees over the next 5 hours

Answer 1

The answer is "
`\bold{2^(\circ)\ C}`"

Explanation:

Given:

noon temperature
`= 8^(\circ) C`

Total change in next 5 hours
`= 10^(\circ) C`

Calculating the final temperature:

`\text{final temperature = noon temperature - changes in 5 hours}`

`= 8^(\circ) -10^(\circ) \\\\=- 2^(\circ) \ C`
