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

1 answer

To find the current temperature, you need to add the change in temperature to the temperature from yesterday. The temperature yesterday was 13°C, and it changed by −18.6°.

So the calculation is:

\[ \text{Current Temperature} = \text{Yesterday's Temperature} + \text{Change in Temperature} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Current Temperature} = 13°C + (-18.6°C) = 13°C - 18.6°C \]

Now, perform the subtraction:

\[ 13 - 18.6 = -5.6 \]

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