Temp. In degrees is 19 degrees Fahrenheit. A blizzard moved in and brought lots of snow and lowered temp. By 27 degrees Fahrenheit, what was the final temp. In Fahrenheit during the blizzard?

Answer 1

This doesn't make any sense either. 19 degrees is colder than 27 degrees.

Answer 2

It lowered the temp by 27°, not to.

19 - 27 = -8

Answer 3

Oops! By starting a new sentence with "By," the meaning was changed.

Answer 4

Thanks for translating, Steve.

Answer 5

Yeah, I sometimes have to step back and ask myself what it would take for the problem to make sense.

It's not always possible to come up with an answer, either!
