Answer 1

he hidden question is what the temperature was four days prior to the record high temperature of 39°C.

To find the temperature four days earlier, subtract 14.2°C from the record high temperature of 39°C:

39°C - 14.2°C = 24.8°C

The main question is how much higher the record temperature was than the high temperature four days earlier.

To find the answer, subtract the temperature four days earlier (24.8°C) from the record high temperature (39°C):

39°C - 24.8°C = 14.2°C.

So, the record temperature was 14.2°C higher than the high temperature four days earlier.
