5. The temperature on the moon can vary from 243°F to −261°F. By how many degrees can the temperature vary on the moon? Show your work.
243 + 261 = ?
Thanks I think it might be right :)
To find the range or the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures on the moon, we subtract the minimum temperature from the maximum temperature.
Maximum Temperature: 243°F
Minimum Temperature: -261°F
Temperature Range = Maximum Temperature - Minimum Temperature
Temperature Range = 243°F - (-261°F)
Temperature Range = 243°F + 261°F
To add these temperatures together, let's perform the addition:
243°F
+ 261°F
-------------
504°F
Therefore, the temperature can vary by 504 degrees Fahrenheit on the moon.
