Answer 1

A and E

Explanation:

Death Valley and Alaska

73+42=115

134+15=149

Answer 2

Option A) Barrow

Option E) Death Valley.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

City: Barrow Budapest Prague Tehran Deathvalley London

Highest Temperature: 73 103 98 109 134 91

Lowest Temperature: -42 -10 -16 -5 -15 -6

The temperature are given in Fahrenheit.

We have to find the cities with difference between their highest and lowest temperatures that is greater than or equal to 115°F.

Absolute Difference =

`\text{Highest Temperature} - \text{Lowest Temperature}`

Barrow:

`73-(-42) = 115^\circ F`

Budapest:

`103-(-10) = 113^\circ F`

Prague:

`98-(-16) = 114^\circ F`

Tehran:

`109-(-5) = 114^\circ F`

Deathvalley:

`134-(-15) = 149^\circ F`

London:

`91-(-6) = 97^\circ F`

Thus, the cities with absolute difference greater than or equal to 115°F are Option A) Barrow and Option E) Death Valley.
