Math Problem Statement
Emil is monitoring the temperature during a cold front. At [7{:}00\text{ a.m.}] the temperature is [-11 ^\circ\text{C}]. At [11{:}00\text{ a.m.}], Emil notices that the temperature has risen [5^\circ\text{C}]. What temperature does Emil observe at [11{:}00\text{ a.m.}]?
[^\circ\text{C}]
Solution
At 7:00 a.m., the temperature is . By 11:00 a.m., the temperature has risen by . To find the temperature at 11:00 a.m., we add to :
So, the temperature at 11:00 a.m. is .
Would you like more details on temperature change or have any other questions? Here's a list of questions that could expand your understanding:
- What happens if the temperature decreases by a certain number of degrees instead of increasing?
- How can we convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit?
- What is the concept of the freezing point and boiling point of water in different temperature scales?
- How do temperature changes affect daily weather patterns?
- How can we model temperature changes over the course of a day mathematically?
Tip: To track temperature changes, it's often helpful to think of it as simple addition or subtraction based on whether the temperature is rising or falling!
