At 6 am, the temperature was 73 degrees Fahrenheit. By noon, then temperature had rose 8 degrees. At 4 pm, the temperature was 5 degrees warmer than it was at noon. By 9 pm, the temperature had dropped 16 degrees. What was the temperature at 9 pm?

Answer 1

70

Explanation:

We started at 73 degrees and the temperature rose by 8 degrees so 73 + 8 = 81. At 4 pm, the temperature rose again by 5 degrees so 81 + 5 = 86. By 9 pm, the temperature dropped 16 degrees so 86 - 16 = 70, Therefore, the temperature at 9 pm was 70 degrees.

Answer 2

70 degrees Fahrenheit
