At 6:00 A.M. the temperature was 33°F. By noon the temperature had increased by 10°F and by 3:00 P.M. it had increased another 12°F. If at 10:00 P.M. the temperature had decreased by 15°F, how much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the original temperature of 33°F?
A) Fall 7°F

B) Rise 7°F

C) Fall 3°F

D) Rise 3°F

Answer :

So at 6:00 a.m. the temperature is 33 F
12:00 p.m. the temperature increased by 10 F so it is 43 F
3:00 p.m. the temperature increased by another 12 F making it 55 F
At 10:00 p.m. it would decrease by 15 F making it 40 F.

The temperature would need to fall/decrease 7 F to reach the original temperature of 33 F so it would be A.

Hope this helps!
