Answer:
-[tex]17^\circ F[/tex]
OR
[tex]17^\circ F[/tex] decrease in the temperature.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Temperature at the night = [tex]12^\circ F[/tex]
Temperature in the morning = -[tex]5^\circ F[/tex]
To find:
The total difference in the temperature = ?
Solution:
Difference of any quantity is given by the Final value of quantity minus Initial value of quantity.
Therefore, the difference is given as : -[tex]5^\circ F[/tex] - [tex]12^\circ F[/tex] = -[tex]17^\circ F[/tex]
Negative value in the difference indicates that there is a decrease of the quantity.
So, the answer is:
-[tex]17^\circ F[/tex]
OR
there is decrease of [tex]17^\circ F[/tex] in the temperature.
