Question

The temperature was 48°F and dropped 15° in two hours.

What was the temperature after the change?

Answer 1

33°F

Explanation:

The initial temperature was 48°F. Then, it dropped by 15°.

I am assuming that both values are given in the same unit.

48 - 15 = 33

The temperature should be 33 degrees now.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

33 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

If the temperature was 48 degrees, and it dropped 15, that means the initial temperature was subtracted by 15.

48 - 15 = 33.
