Answer:

60 degrees F

Explanation:

To find the range of temperatures, find the absolute value of the difference of the temperatures. It doesn't matter in which order you subtract.

|56 - (-4)| = |56 + 4| = |60| = 60

You can subtract in the other order:

|-4 - 56| = |-60| = 60

Range: 60 degrees F

Answer:

60 degree Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

We have been given that in a city, record monthly high temperature for March is 56°F. The record monthly low temperature for March is -4°F. We are asked to find the range of temperatures for the month of March.

We know that range of a data set is the difference between the highest value and lowest value.


\text{Range}=\text{Highest temperature}-\text{Lowest temperature}


\text{Range of temperatures  for the month of March}=56^(\circ)F-(-4^(\circ)F)


\text{Range of temperatures  for the month of March}=56^(\circ)F+4^(\circ)F


\text{Range of temperatures  for the month of March}=60^(\circ)F

Therefore, the range of temperatures for the month of March is 60 degree Fahrenheit.
