The temperature started at 35°F. If the temperature went down 4°F and then up 2°F, whats is the temperature difference relative to the high temperature?
The high temperature refers to the final temperature after the increase of 2°F.
To find the final temperature, we start with 35°F, then subtract 4°F:
35°F - 4°F = 31°F.
Finally, we add 2°F to get the high temperature:
31°F + 2°F = 33°F.
The temperature difference relative to the high temperature is:
33°F - 35°F = -2°F.
To find the temperature difference relative to the high temperature, we need to subtract the low temperature from the high temperature.
The high temperature is 35°F, and it went down 4°F and then up 2°F.
So, the low temperature is 35°F - 4°F = 31°F.
The high temperature is 35°F.
The temperature difference relative to the high temperature is: high temperature - low temperature.
Therefore, the temperature difference relative to the high temperature is: 35°F - 31°F = 4°F.
