Answer:

-24 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total change in temperature, multiply 12 by -2, since it dropped 2 degrees each hour for 12 hours.

12*(-2)

= -24

This means -24°F was the total number of degrees the temperature dropped.

Answer:

The question mentions the keyword, "temperature drops" meaning we need to alternatively subtract.

[tex]t = -2 * 12[/tex]

If we know that positive 2 times 12 is 24, we know -2 times 12 will be negative 24°, because any negative number times a positive number is always a negative number.
