I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is 61℉ - (-12℉) = 73℉. Therefore, the difference between the average summer temperature and the average winter temperature in Fairbanks, Alaska is 73℉.

-851 - (-394) can be simplified as follows:
-851 - (-394) = -851 + 394
When adding a negative number, it is the same as subtracting its positive equivalent, so:
-851 + 394 = -457
Therefore, the simplified expression is -457.
Bertha and Vernon are competing in a diving competition. Bertha's dive ended -30 m from the starting platform. Vernon's dive ended -6 m from the starting platform. How many times farther was the end of Bertha's dive than the end of Vernon's dive?(1 point)

The distance between the end of Bertha's dive and the end of Vernon's dive can be calculated by finding the absolute value of the difference between their distances from the starting platform.
The absolute value of -30 - (-6) is equal to the absolute value of -30 + 6, which is 24.
Therefore, the end of Bertha's dive was 24 meters farther from the starting platform than the end of Vernon's dive.
Hence, the answer is -24 (meters).
