Question

Kimberly went to a new animated monster movie yesterday afternoon. When she went into
the movie theater, the outside temperature was -8°F. By the time she left the theater, the
temperature had decreased by 6°F.

What was the temperature when Kimberly left the theater?

Answer 1

Answer:  -14 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Draw a vertical number line. At the center is 0. Anything above this marker represents positive temperatures. Anything below 0 is negative. So we'll have -8 below 0. Move 6 spaces down to go from -8 to -14. You can think of it as moving 6 floors down a building to go from basement level 8 to basement level 14.
