Suppose that state’s record high temperature of 102 was set in 1930, and the record low of -14 was set in 1966. What is the range of these temperature extremes?
Didn't you see the answer I posted for you yesterday?

To find the range of the temperature extremes, we need to subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature.
Record high temperature = 102
Record low temperature = -14
To find the range, we subtract the record low from the record high:
Range = Record high temperature - Record low temperature
Range = 102 - (-14)
To subtract a negative number, we can change the subtraction to addition by changing the sign of the negative number:
Range = 102 + 14
Now, we can add the two numbers:
Range = 116
Therefore, the range of the temperature extremes is 116 degrees.
