The total change in temperature for the package of food is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.
Final temperature = 35 degrees F
Initial temperature = -15 degrees F
Total change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Total change in temperature = 35 degrees F - (-15 degrees F)
Total change in temperature = 35 degrees F + 15 degrees F
Total change in temperature = 50 degrees F
Therefore, the total change in temperature for the package of food is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
A cook removes a package of food from a freezer and begins to defrost the package. • The initial temperature of the package of food is -15 degrees F. • At noon, the temperature of the package of food has increased to 35 degrees F.
