Solve the following problem:
It was 13°
C yesterday, but the temperature changed by −18.6°
overnight. What is the temperature now?(1 point)

C

1 answer

To find the current temperature, you need to subtract the change in temperature from the temperature yesterday.

The temperature yesterday was \( 13^\circ C \), and the change in temperature overnight was \( -18.6^\circ C \).

So, the calculation is:

\[ \text{Current temperature} = 13^\circ C + (-18.6^\circ C) = 13^\circ C - 18.6^\circ C = -5.6^\circ C \]

Therefore, the current temperature is \( -5.6^\circ C \).
