Question

The highest temperature ever recorded on earth was 136 ferinheit the lowest was -129 ferinheit plot each temperature as an integer on a number line and use absolute value to determine the difference between the two temperatures

Answer 1

265 Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Highest temperature ever recorded on earth = 136 Fahrenheit

Lowest temperature = -129 Fahrenheit

We need to plot these temperature as an integer on a number line.

136 is a positive integer. So, it lies 136 units on the right side of zero.

-129 is a negative integer. So, it lies 129 units on the left side of zero.

According to absolute values, |x|=|-x|=x.

Absolute value of 136 and -129 are

`|136|=136`

`|-129|=129`

The difference between he two temperatures is

`|136-(-129)|=|136+129|=265`

Therefore, the difference between he two temperatures is 265 Fahrenheit .
