When Liz woke up in the morning, it was 6°F. By the late afternoon, the temperature had dropped 9°F.

Question

What was the temperature by the late afternoon?
°F

Answer 1

To find the temperature by the late afternoon, we need to subtract the temperature drop from the morning temperature.

Starting temperature: 6°F
Temperature drop: 9°F

Calculation: \[ 6°F - 9°F = -3°F \]

Therefore, the temperature by the late afternoon was -3°F.
