Manuel thinks that the temperature will decrease by - 1.3 degrees per week for the next 12 weeks. If the temperature today is 52 degrees, what would the temperature be 12 weeks from now?

Answer: The temperature will be 36.4 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to subtract the product of the temperature decrease per week (-1.3) and the number of weeks (12) to the actual temperature (52).

Mathematically speaking:

52 - (1.3 x 12)

Solving:

52-15.6

36.4 degrees

The temperature will be 36.4 degrees.
