1 a Friday morning, the temperature was 63° F. The temperature dropped 10° F and then se 6° F. How much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the initial temperature

Question

63° F?

Answer 1

Let's break down the temperature changes step by step:

1. The initial temperature is 63° F.
2. The temperature drops by 10° F:
   \( 63° F - 10° F = 53° F \)
3. Then the temperature increases by 6° F:
   \( 53° F + 6° F = 59° F \)

Now, we need to determine how much the temperature needs to rise to return to the initial temperature of 63° F:

Initial temperature: 63° F
Current temperature: 59° F

To find the difference:
\( 63° F - 59° F = 4° F \)

Thus, the temperature needs to rise by 4° F to return to the initial temperature of 63° F.
