The statement which identifies Melissa’s error and the correct answer is; Melissa added incorrectly. The correct answer is 4.5°F

Temperature

  • Initial temperature = -20.5°F
  • Change in temperature per hour = 5°F
  • Number of hours = 5

New temperature = Initial temperature + (Change in temperature per × Number of hours)

= -20.5°F + (5°F × 5)

= -20.5°F + (25°F)

= 4.5°F
