Respuesta :

-47°F (option A)

Explanation:

The temperature in the late afternoon = -23.5°F

The temperature dropped by 11°

A drop in temperature means a negative temperature

It becomes: - 11°

It dropped by 12.5° = -12.5°

The temperature at midnight = -23.5°F + (-11°F) + (-12.5°F)

= -23.5°F -11°F - 12.5°F

The temperature at midnight = -47°F (option A)
