The highest temperature ever recorded in Chicago was 105°F, and the lowest was -27°F. Use absolute values to find the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures.

To find the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in Chicago while using absolute values, you can calculate it as follows:

|Highest Temperature| - |Lowest Temperature| = |105°F| - |-27°F|

|105| - |-27| = 105 + 27 = 132

So, the absolute difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in Chicago is 132 degrees Fahrenheit.
