Question

At the beginning of his science experiment, Bob's solution had a temperature of –
2°C. During the experiment, the change in the solution's temperature was –
6°C.
What is the final temperature of Bob's solution?

Answer 1

To find the final temperature of Bob's solution, you need to add the change in temperature to the initial temperature.

The initial temperature is \( -2^\circ C \), and the change in temperature is \( -6^\circ C \).

Calculating the final temperature:

\[
\text{Final Temperature} = \text{Initial Temperature} + \text{Change in Temperature}
\]
\[
\text{Final Temperature} = -2^\circ C + (-6^\circ C)
\]
\[
\text{Final Temperature} = -2^\circ C - 6^\circ C
\]
\[
\text{Final Temperature} = -8^\circ C
\]

So, the final temperature of Bob's solution is \( -8^\circ C \).
