The temperature yesterday at noon was 68.5 degrees. Today at noon it was 59.9 degrees. What was the difference in temperature?

Answer 1

To find the difference in temperature between yesterday and today at noon, subtract today's temperature from yesterday's temperature.

Yesterday's temperature: 68.5 degrees
Today's temperature: 59.9 degrees

Difference = Yesterday's temperature - Today's temperature
Difference = 68.5 - 59.9 = 8.6 degrees

The difference in temperature is 8.6 degrees.
