Answer 1

Answer: D. -4F

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use simple math.  1 - 5 = -4 or  -8 divided by 2 = -4, right?

Same idea, so now lets apply it.

If it decreases -8F in only two hours you just simply divide the temperature by the hour.

Looking at problem A that just would not make sense, how could it decrease while staying at the same number?

Problem B also wouldn't make sense because a negitive plus negitive equals a negitive, same with subtracting. So 10 is inncorrect

Problem C also is inncorrect because 8 divided by 2 = 4, not 6

So, D is correct because -8 divided by 2 equals = -4

Hope this helps!
