When Kendra woke up from school the temperature was 9°F below 08 hours later the temperature had risen nine Fahrenheit. Kendra says that the current temperature is 18 Fahrenheit. true or false

Answer 1

Let's break down the information given:

1. Kendra woke up and the temperature was 9°F below 0°F. This means the temperature was: \[ -9°F \]

2. Eight hours later, the temperature rose by 9°F. So, we can calculate the new temperature: \[ -9°F + 9°F = 0°F \]

3. Kendra claims that the current temperature is 18°F.

Therefore, the statement that the current temperature is 18°F is false. The correct current temperature, after the rise, is 0°F.
