The temperature Ina a certain day  was -3⁰C in the morning. Later in the day the temperature was 9⁰C. Determine the change in temperature

To determine the change in temperature, we subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature:

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = \text{Final temperature} - \text{Initial temperature}
\]

Given that the initial temperature was \(-3^\circ C\) and the final temperature was \(9^\circ C\):

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = 9^\circ C - (-3^\circ C) = 9^\circ C + 3^\circ C = 12^\circ C
\]

Thus, the change in temperature is **12°C**.

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are some related questions:

1. What would the temperature change be if the morning temperature was \(-5^\circ C\) instead of \(-3^\circ C\)?
2. If the temperature dropped back down to \(5^\circ C\) later in the day, what would the new change in temperature be?
3. How would you represent this temperature change on a number line?
4. How do you calculate the average temperature for the day using the morning and afternoon temperatures?
5. What would the temperature change be in Fahrenheit if you converted the temperatures first?

**Tip:** When subtracting negative numbers, always remember that two negatives result in a positive.
