Does water decrease in volume when its temperature drops from 38 degrees to 32 degrees?

It depends upon the scale (units) being used:
- Celsius: 38oC to 32oC results in denser water and so a decrease in volume
- Fahrenheit: 38oF to 32oF results in less dense water and so an increase in volume.
Water is its densest at about 4oC ≈ 39oF which is why ice at 0oC (32oF) floats.

Still 54 degrees if the 18 degree drop is inside!
Which temperature is 40 degrees colder than 86 Fahrenheit?
If the starting temperature is 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and it drops by 40 degrees, the temperature is 46 Fahrenheit. It's simple subtraction.
If the temperature is 0 at 7 am and rises 2 degrees every hour what will the temperature be at 12 pm and then it drops 1 degree every hour after that so what time will it be when is 0 again?

How many degrees does the temperature decrease as you increase elevation?
generally speaking, for every 100 m (330 ft) elevation increase, the temperature drops 0.6 degree Celsius (or 1.08 degree Fahrenheit).
If the air at 75 degrees is full of moisture and the temperature suddenly drops what will happen?
Precipitation will be released in the form of hail and/or rain and the humidity will remain unchanged. or The relative humidity will decrease.
It is 54 degrees outside the temperature drops 18 degrees what will the temperature outside?
Still 54 degrees if the 18 degree drop is inside!
If the temperature drops from 6 degrees Celsius to -5 degrees Celsius how much did it drop?
8 degrees
What happens to the gas when temperature drops from 100 degrees to -100 degrees?
You will recall from the Ideal Gas Laws that temperature, pressure, and volume are all connected in terms of the behavior of a gas (especially an ideal gas, but actual gas resembles ideal gas to a certain extent). So, if the gas is in a container of fixed volume, then reducing the temperature will correspondingly reduce the pressure.
Which temperature is 20 degrees colder than 44 F?
If the temperature is 44F and the temperature drops 20 degrees, the temperature would be 24. Subtract the temperature drop from the starting temperature.
What organism would die out if the temperature dropped 50 degrees in the desert?
You need to provide a point of reference. If the temperature is 100 degrees F and drops to 50 degrees, that is still a comfortable temperature for most organisms. However, if the temperature is 50 degrees and drops to zero, many organisms would be adversely affected, especially if the temperature remained cold for an extended period.
