In the Sahara Desert, one day the temperature was 58°C. On the same day, the temperature in Gobi Desert was -47°C. What is the difference between these two temperatures?
- The temperature in Sahara Desert = 58°C
- The temperature in Gobi Desert = - 47°C
Our question is to find the difference between their temperatures on that particular day. Note that ⇨ difference is the keyword for subtraction. So, to find the difference we need to subtract their temperatures.

58°C - (- 47°C)
= 58°C + 47°C
= 105°C
