The same front hit Pittsburgh the next morning. The temperature dropped by 8°F each hour from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. If the temperature at 9:00 a.m. was -5'F what was the beginning temperature at 5:00 a.m.? There are different ways to solve a problem. Claire and Dan solved this problem differently. Dan said his method involved multiplication, while Claire said she did not use multiplication. Both students arrived at the correct answer. How is this possible? Explain. What answer did they both arrive at?
