The highest temperature ever recorded in a certain town was 88 Fahrenheit . the lowest temperature ever recorded there was -24 Fahrenheit what is the difference between the two temperatures.
88 + 24 = ?
112
To find the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures, subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature.
88°F - (-24°F) = 88°F + 24°F = 112°F
Therefore, the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures is 112°F.
To find the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures, you subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature.
In this case:
Highest temperature = 88 Fahrenheit
Lowest temperature = -24 Fahrenheit
Difference = Highest temperature - Lowest temperature
Difference = 88 Fahrenheit - (-24) Fahrenheit
To subtract a negative number, you can treat it as adding a positive number. So, changing the sign of the negative number, the expression becomes:
Difference = 88 Fahrenheit + 24 Fahrenheit
Difference = 112 Fahrenheit
Therefore, the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the town is 112 Fahrenheit.
