To calculate the change in temperature between 9 AM and 12 PM, you'll need to know the temperatures displayed on the two thermometers. Since I don't have access to the actual temperature readings on the thermometers you're referring to, I can explain how to compute the change in temperature.
-
Determine the Temperatures: Identify the temperature at 9 AM from the left thermometer and the temperature at 12 PM from the right thermometer. Let's call the temperature at 9 AM T1 and the temperature at 12 PM T2.
-
Calculate the Change in Temperature: Subtract the morning temperature from the afternoon temperature: \[ \text{Change in Temperature} = T2 - T1 \]
-
Interpret the Change:
- If the result is positive, it means the temperature has increased over the three hours.
- If the result is negative, it means the temperature has decreased.
- If the result is zero, it means the temperature has stayed the same.
For example, if T1 is 15°C and T2 is 20°C: \[ \text{Change in Temperature} = 20°C - 15°C = 5°C \] This means the temperature increased by 5°C over the three hours.
If you provide the specific temperatures from the thermometers, I can help with the exact calculation and interpretation.
