A. –100°F
B. –12°F
C. 12°F
D. 100°F

Answer 1

Change is :
44 - (-56) = 44 + 56 = 100
D. is true

Answer 2

Answer: A - 100°F

Explanation:

Given : The world record for the greatest temperature range recorded in one day occurred in Browning, Montana, in 1916.

The temperature fell from 44°F to -56°F.

Now the temperature change that day was = -56°F- 44°F

i.e the temperature change that day was =-(56+44)°F

i.e. the temperature change that day was =-100°F

Hence, the temperature change that day=- 100°F
