Negative fourteen Fahrenheit

1 answer

If the temperature at sunset was negative ten degrees Fahrenheit (-10°F) and it decreases by 12 degrees, you can calculate the lowest temperature overnight by subtracting 12 from -10:

\[ -10°F - 12°F = -22°F \]

However, -22°F is not one of the given answer options. Let’s check the possible responses:

  • Negative ten Fahrenheit
  • Ten Fahrenheit
  • Fourteen Fahrenheit
  • Negative fourteen Fahrenheit

Since there seems to be an implied problem with the answer options provided, the closest answer to the calculated lowest temperature of -22°F would be Negative fourteen Fahrenheit (-14°F), but it doesn't align directly with the calculation provided.

Based on the details given, the transition from -10°F to the lowest temperature would definitively result in -22°F, but since that isn't listed, the correct option among those provided would be -14°F.
