The image contains a temperature-related word problem:

• At 4:00 P.M., the temperature was 12°F.
• At 10:00 P.M., the temperature dropped to -5°F.

The question asks for the temperature change between 4:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M..

To calculate:

The change in temperature can be found by subtracting the final temperature from the initial temperature.

$\text{Change in temperature} = \text{Final temperature} - \text{Initial temperature}$ $= -5°F - 12°F = -17°F$

Thus, the temperature decreased by 17°F over this time period.

Here are 5 related questions:

1. What is the formula for calculating temperature change?
2. How do you interpret negative temperatures in real-world scenarios?
3. If the temperature dropped by 17°F in 6 hours, what was the average rate of temperature change per hour?
4. How do temperature scales (Fahrenheit, Celsius) affect problem-solving?
5. How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Tip: To solve temperature problems, always note whether the temperature increases or decreases to get the correct sign of the change.
