Question

After a snowstorm in the town of Golden Glen, the morning temperature was –
10°F. But by the afternoon, the temperature had risen by 17°F.
What was the afternoon temperature?

Answer 1

To find the afternoon temperature, we start with the morning temperature, which is -10°F. The temperature increase in the afternoon is 17°F.

To calculate the afternoon temperature, we add the temperature increase to the morning temperature:

\[
\text{Afternoon Temperature} = \text{Morning Temperature} + \text{Temperature Increase}
\]
\[
\text{Afternoon Temperature} = -10°F + 17°F
\]
\[
\text{Afternoon Temperature} = 7°F
\]

So, the afternoon temperature was 7°F.
