Answer 1

20*-4=

Answer 2

-20 divided 4 is that wrong

Answer 3

Because it decreased

Answer 4

I meant 20 multiplied by -4

Answer 5

20*4=80 but its decreasing so it would be the opposite of 80

Answer 6

this is a little confusing.....if it decreased 20 degrees in 4 days, then it decreased 20/4 = 5 degrees each day.
So did it decrease -5 degrees or 5 degrees.....thats where I am confused

Answer 7

wouldn't 20 be going down though?

Answer 8

Answer 9

I would say -5 because it decreased 20 which is negative so 4 days over so divide
