Answer 1

Answer: 64°C

Explanation:

Official all-time high temperature = 43°C

Official all-time low temperature = –21°C

The difference between the two temperatures will be calculated by subtracting the low temperature from the high temperature. This will be:

= 43°C - (-21°C)

= 43°C + 21°C

= 64°C
