Question

The highest temperature ever recorded in Africa was 136°F in Libya. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Africa was –11°F in Morocco. What is the difference in these temperature extremes?

Answer 1

For this case, we must find the difference given by the temperatures registered in Africa, we have:

Highest temperature = 136°F

Lowest temperature = -11°F

To find the difference, we subtract the temperatures:

`Highest\ temperature-Lowest\ temperature=`

136°F - (-11°F) =

Taking into account that:
`- * - = +`

136°F +11°F =147°F

Thus, the difference in temperatures recorded in Africa is 147°F

Answer:

147°F

Answer 2

147

Explanation:

The difference in the temperatures is evaluated as; the highest temperature - the lowest temperature. This is evaluated as; 136 - (-11) =147
