Full solution

Q. Yesterday, between noon and midnight, the temperature dropped by 30.7F 30.7^{\circ} \mathrm{F} . If the temperature was 4.2F -4.2^{\circ} \mathrm{F} at midnight, what was it at noon?\newlineAnswer: \square F { }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}
  1. Add Temperatures: To find the temperature at noon, we need to add the temperature drop to the temperature at midnight. Since the temperature dropped, we will be adding a positive number to a negative number.\newlineCalculation: 4.2F+30.7F-4.2^\circ\text{F} + 30.7^\circ\text{F}
  2. Perform Addition: Perform the addition of the two numbers. 4.2+30.7=26.5-4.2 + 30.7 = 26.5
  3. Calculate Noon Temperature: The result of the addition gives us the temperature at noon before the drop occurred.
