Subtract the initial temperature by the change, since it decreased: -12.6-7.5
To subtract, add the opposite: =-12.6+(-7.5) =-20.1
So, the final temperature is -20.1°C

Fifty raffle tickets are numbered 1 through 50, and one of them is drawn at random. What is the probability that the number is a multiple of 5 or 7? Consider the following "solution": Since 10 tickets bear numbers that are multiples of 5 and 7 tickets bear numbers that are multiples of 7, we concluded the required probability is as follows.
\(\displaystyle{\frac{{{10}}}{{{50}}}}+{\frac{{{7}}}{{{50}}}}={\frac{{{17}}}{{{50}}}}\)
Is this the correct answer? (If so, enter yes. If not, enter the correct answer.)
