Question

the lowest temperature ever recorded on earth's surface was −128.5°f. the highest temperature was 262.5°f higher than the lowest.what was the highest temperature ever recorded?

Answer 1

Answer: 134 °f

Explanation:

Lowest is -128.5 °f, the highest is 262.5 °f higher than the lowest.

you would simply add 262.5 °f to your -128.5 °f, giving you 134 °f.

another way of doing this is subtracting 128.5 from 262.6

Answer 2

The answer is 134°

Explanation :

So basically, make the degree 0 which means taking away 128.5 from the 262.5 and adding it to the negative number. You add 128.5 from -128.5 because when the number is in the negatives, adding makes it closer to positive. So now you’ve used 128.5 of that 262.5 which means subtract 128.5 from 262.5 which gives you 134 left. That 134 is going to be added to the 0 and (134 + 0 = 134°) so you’ll be left with 0 degrees higher and you’ll get 134° as your answer.
