Question

Yesterday in Juneau, Alaska it was -20 degrees and in San Diego, California it was 75 degrees. What was the difference in temperature between these two cities?

Select one:

a. -20 degrees

b. 55 degrees

c. 75 degrees

d. 95 degrees​

Answer 1

95 degrees(answer d)

Explanation:

when you have a negative temp. and a positive temp., you add the two numbers to find the difference.

that means, 20+75=95 degrees(take away the negative sign when adding only.)

That means the difference between the two temperatures is 95 degrees.

Answer 2

Answer: d) 95 degrees

Explanation:

To find this solution, simply subtract -20 from 75, to get 95. In reality, you would take the absolute value of one temperature - another, but all you need to remember is to always subtract the smaller temperature from the larger.
