Question

Scientists determined that Antarctica's average winter temperature was -34.44°C. The difference between this temperature and Antarctica's highest recorded temperature was 49.44 degrees. What was Antarctica's highest recorded temperature?

Answer 1

Average t= - 34.44 °C.

Let T be the highest temperature:


T - t = 49.44 °C ==> T-(-34.44) = 49.44==> T+34.44 =49.44 ==> T =15 °C
