Question

The temperature at sunrise was -2 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature at sunset was 18 degrees warmer than it was at sunrise. What was the temperature at sunset?

a) -20 degrees Fahrenheit
b) -16 degrees Fahrenheit
c) 20 degrees Fahrenheit
d) 16 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

Answer:

d) 16 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

What do we know? Initial temperature: -2. Then the temperature rose by 18 degrees. We can express this mathematically:

$-2+18$

If you are not particularly comfortable with negatives, you can rewrite this expression as such:

$18-2$

$16$

Thus the temperature at sunset was 16 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

Answer:

16 degrees

-2 + 18 is 16
