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.

Would you like a detailed explanation of how I arrived at this? 

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.
