Question

On January 22, 1943, the temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, fell from 54F at 9:00 a.m. How many degrees did the temperature fall?

Answer 1

Hey there Candice,

 

To answer this question, you're going to need a bit more information. We know that the temperature fell from 54F, but not where it fell to. To figure out the total temperature fall, you need to know where it ended up.

 

Once you get that info, let me know and I can help finish the the problem.

 

Best,

Luke
