Answer: D. - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Give the following :
Starting temperature = - 4°F
At the end of the experiment, the change in temperature was -5°F
What was the final temperature?
Taking the difference of the starting temperature and the final temperature should give the change in temperature over the course of the experiment.
Δtemperature = (final temperature - initial temperature)
Δtemperature = - 5°F
Initial /starting temperature = - 4°F
Hence,
-5 = final temperature - (-4)
-5 = final temperature + 4
Final temperature = - 5 - 4
Final temperature = - 9
