Question

The record high temperature in Alabama is 112f and the record low temperature is -27f. What is the difference between the highest and lowest temperature? A. 139 degrees B. 27 degrees C. 85 degrees D. 112 degrees

Answer 1

(A) 139°

Explanation:

What we are trying to find here is the distance between -27 and 112.

To do this, we have to think of it as a number line.

The distance from -27 to 0 is 27 units, and the distance from 0 to 112 is 112 units.

So the total distance is
`112+27=139`

Hope this helped!
