Answer 10

units matter for temperate,
say it is 5°C today
and -15°C tomorrow, what is the percentage decrease @parth

Answer 11

Units do matter lol but the percent decrease would be same if both are f or both are c.

Answer 12

Those measurements must be in Fahrenheit 75 °F to 50 °F
converting to an absolute scale of temperature measurement
\[75 °\text F \rightarrow 297\text K \]\[ 50°\text F \rightarrow283\text K\]

now you can use Parths formula

Answer 13

\[\approx5\%Decrease \neq 33\%\neq
50\%\neq
66\%\]
