Allison spends a winter day recording the temperature once every three hours for science class. At 9am, the temperature was −13∘F. Between 9am and noon, the temperature increased by 14⋅1∘F. Between noon and 3pm, the temperature went down 1.1∘F. Between 3pm and 6pm, the temperature went down 9.1∘F. What was the temperature at 6pm ?Answer: □∘F
Q. Allison spends a winter day recording the temperature once every three hours for science class. At 9am, the temperature was −13∘F. Between 9am and noon, the temperature increased by 14⋅1∘F. Between noon and 3pm, the temperature went down 1.1∘F. Between 3pm and 6pm, the temperature went down 9.1∘F. What was the temperature at 6pm ?Answer: □∘F
Initial Temperature Determination: Determine the initial temperature at 9am. The initial temperature at 9am is given as −13°F.
Noon Temperature Calculation: Calculate the temperature at noon after the increase.The temperature increased by 14°F between 9am and noon. So, we add 14°F to the initial temperature of −13°F.Calculation: −13°F+14°F=1°F.
3pm Temperature Calculation: Calculate the temperature at 3pm after the decrease.The temperature decreased by 1.1°F between noon and 3pm. So, we subtract 1.1°F from the temperature at noon.Calculation: 1°F−1.1°F=−0.1°F.
6pm Temperature Calculation: Calculate the temperature at 6pm after the second decrease.The temperature decreased by 9.1°F between 3pm and 6pm. So, we subtract 9.1°F from the temperature at 3pm.Calculation: −0.1°F−9.1°F=−9.2°F.
