At 6 a.m., the temperature was –8°C. By noon, the temperature had risen 6°C. The temperature at 6 p.m. was –10°C. Which integer represents the temperature change between noon and 6 p.m.?

Question

–24
–12
–8
–4

Answer 1

To find the temperature change between noon and 6 p.m., we need to subtract the temperature at noon from the temperature at 6 p.m.

Since the temperature at noon was -8°C and the temperature at 6 p.m. was -10°C, we need to subtract -8 from -10:
-10 - (-8) = -10 + 8 = -2.

Therefore, the temperature change between noon and 6 p.m. is -2°C.

None of the given answer choices represent -2, so none of the options are correct.
