The air temperature at 9 a.m is -5.8 degrees Celsius. The air temperature at noon is -1.6 degrees Celsius. What is the change in the temperature during these three hours?

Answer 1

To find the change in temperature from 9 a.m. to noon, you subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.

Initial temperature (at 9 a.m.): -5.8 degrees Celsius
Final temperature (at noon): -1.6 degrees Celsius

Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Change in temperature = (-1.6) - (-5.8)
Change in temperature = -1.6 + 5.8
Change in temperature = 4.2 degrees Celsius

The change in temperature during these three hours is 4.2 degrees Celsius.
