Answers for sheet # 78

Write the new temperature.

1) 10 degree drop from 200 F. 20 - 10 = 10 degrees F

2) 10 degree increase from 00 . 0 + 10 = 10 degrees F

3) 5 degree drop from 00 F. 0 - 5 = -5 degrees

4) 8 degree increase from -8 0 F. - 8 + 8 = 0 degrees F

5) 7 degree drop from -200 F. - 20 -7 = -27 degrees F

6) 12 degree drop from -350 F. - 35 - 12 = - 47 degrees F

7) 33 degree increase from - 430 F. - 43 + 33 = - 10 degrees F

8) 40 degree increase from - 300 F. - 30 + 40 = + 10 degrees F`

9) 12 degree drop from - 180 F. - 18 - 12 = - 30 degrees F

10) 24 degree drop from - 50 F. - 5 - 24 = - 29 degrees F.

11) 17 degree increase from - 70 F. - 7 + 17 = 10 degrees

12) 5 degree drop from 20 F. 2 - 5 = - 3 degrees.
