Question

In a ski resort, the highest temperature has been -2°C and the lowest, -23°C. What was the difference in temperature?

A) 19°C
B) 21°C
C) 25°C
D) 26°C

Answer 1

The difference in temperature at a ski resort between -2°C and -23°C is 21°C. The calculation is performed by subtracting the lowest temperature from the highest, considering the negative signs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to find the difference in temperature between the highest and the lowest temperatures at a ski resort. To calculate the difference, you subtract the lower temperature from the higher temperature.

In this case, we have a high of -2°C and a low of -23°C. The difference is:

-2°C - (-23°C) = -2°C + 23°C = 21°C

So, the correct answer is B) 21°C.
