Answer:
1. 32°C = temperature at 1:00pm
3.2°C = temperature dropped / temperature at 5:00pm
32 - 3.2 = 28.8°C
So the temperature at 5:00 pm is 28.8°C.
2. 38.5°C = Jonathan's body temperature
1.5°C = temperature decreased after taking medicine.
38.5 - 1.5 = 37°C
So Jonathan's present temperature is 37°C.
Hope this helps. ^^
