Emil is monitoring the temperature during a cold font. At 7:00 a.m. the temperature is −11∘C. At 11:00 a.m., Emil notices that the temperature has risen 5∘C.What temperature does Emil observe at 11:00 a.m.?∘C
Q. Emil is monitoring the temperature during a cold font. At 7:00 a.m. the temperature is −11∘C. At 11:00 a.m., Emil notices that the temperature has risen 5∘C.What temperature does Emil observe at 11:00 a.m.?∘C
Identify initial temperature: Identify the initial temperature at 7:00 a.m.The initial temperature is given as −11°C.
Determine temperature change: Determine the change in temperature from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.The temperature has risen by 5°C.
Calculate temperature at 11:00 a.m.: Calculate the temperature at 11:00 a.m.To find the temperature at 11:00 a.m., we add the change in temperature to the initial temperature.Temperature at 11:00 a.m. = Initial temperature + Change in temperatureTemperature at 11:00 a.m. = (−11∘C)+(5∘C)Temperature at 11:00 a.m. = −11+5Temperature at 11:00 a.m. = −6∘C
