Question

What is the change in temperature from 15° to -9°?

6°
-24°
-6°
24°

Answer 1

To find the change in temperature from 15° to -9°, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = \text{Final temperature} - \text{Initial temperature}
\]

Substituting in the values:

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = -9° - 15°
\]
\[
\text{Change in temperature} = -9° - 15° = -24°
\]

Thus, the change in temperature is \(-24°\).

The correct answer is \(-24°\).
