The temperature now is the sum of the temperature yesterday and the change overnight.
Temperature now = Temperature yesterday + Change overnight
Temperature now = 13° C + (-18.6° C)
To find the sum of two numbers with different signs, we can subtract their absolute values and assign the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
Absolute value of 13° C = 13° C
Absolute value of -18.6° C = 18.6° C
18.6° C is larger than 13° C, so the temperature change is negative.
Temperature now = 13° C - 18.6° C
Temperature now = -5.6° C
Therefore, the temperature now is -5.6° C.
Temperature now = Temperature yesterday + Change overnight
Temperature now = 13° C + (-18.6° C)
To find the sum of two numbers with different signs, we can subtract their absolute values and assign the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
Absolute value of 13° C = 13° C
Absolute value of -18.6° C = 18.6° C
18.6° C is larger than 13° C, so the temperature change is negative.
Temperature now = 13° C - 18.6° C
Temperature now = -5.6° C
Therefore, the temperature now is -5.6° C.
