The temperature on the moon can vary from -172 to -126 degrees celsius. Find the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures. Write with explanation PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

Given:

The temperature on the moon can vary from -172 to -126 degrees Celsius.

To find:

The difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures.

Solution:

It is given that the temperature on the moon can vary from -172 to -126 degrees Celsius.

Since
`-172 <-126`, therefore the minimum temperature is -172 and the maximum temperature is -126.

The difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures is:

Difference = Maximum temperature - Minimum temperature

`\text{Difference}=-126-(-172)`

`\text{Difference}=-126+172`

`\text{Difference}=46`

Therefore, the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures is 46 degrees Celsius.
