Question

Safety goggles function best at room temperature, approximately 77°F. A pair of specialty safety goggles can function at temperatures that differ from this value by at most 49°F. Write the absolute value of any quality to find the range of acceptable temperatures.

a. |77 + 49|
b. |77 - 49|
c. |77 × 49|
d. |77 ÷ 49|

Answer 1

The range of acceptable temperatures for the specialty safety goggles can be found by taking the absolute value of the difference between the room temperature and the maximum temperature difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of acceptable temperatures for the specialty safety goggles can be found by taking the absolute value of the difference between the room temperature and the maximum temperature difference. Therefore, the correct formula to find the range of acceptable temperatures is |77 - 49|.
