Answer 1

|10.5-(-6.1)| I JUST took this on k-12!!!!

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option c - |10.5-(-6.1)|

Explanation:

Given : A weather station records the morning low temperature as −6.1°F and the afternoon high temperature as 10.5°F .

To find : Which expression represents the total temperature change, in degrees Fahrenheit, from the morning low to the afternoon high?

Solution :

A weather station records the morning low temperature as −6.1°F.

A weather station records the afternoon high temperature as 10.5°F .

The total temperature change, in degrees Fahrenheit, from the morning low to the afternoon high is given by,

Change in temperature = |Temperature at high - Temperature at low|

Change in temperature = |10.5-(-6.1)|

Therefore, Option c is correct.
