Solve the following problem

Question

It was 13° C yesterday, but the temperature changed by - 18.6° overnight. What is the temperature now? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the current temperature, you need to subtract the temperature change from the temperature of yesterday.

Starting temperature: 13° C
Temperature change: -18.6° C

Current temperature = Starting temperature + Temperature change
Current temperature = 13° C + (-18.6° C)
Current temperature = 13° C - 18.6° C
Current temperature = -5.6° C

The temperature now is -5.6° C.
