Question

5. One day when Terry went to school the temperature outside was –15 degrees Fahrenheit. In Terry's classroom the temperature was 68 degrees Fahrenheit. How many more degrees was it inside the building than outside?

A. +53 degrees
B. –53 degrees
C. –83 degrees
D. +83 degrees

Answer 1

D. +83 degrees

Explanation:

To find out the difference between the two numbers, you have to subtract -15 by 68. 68-(-15) is the same thing as 68+15 and that equals 83.
