Question

What is the change in temperature from -45°F to - 71°F?

-26°F
116°F
26°F
-116°F

Answer 1

To find the change in temperature from -45°F to -71°F, you subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature:

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

So in this case:

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = -71°F - (-45°F)
\]

This can be simplified to:

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = -71°F + 45°F = -26°F
\]

Thus, the change in temperature from -45°F to -71°F is **-26°F**.
