At 5:00 a.m. the temperature in Orlando, Florida was already 80 degrees F. By 3:00 p.m. the temperature had risen to 97 degrees F. What is the difference in the temperatures?
97 - 80 = ?
17
To find the difference in temperatures, you subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature. In this case, the initial temperature is 80 degrees F and the final temperature is 97 degrees F. The difference in temperatures can be calculated as follows:
97 degrees F - 80 degrees F = 17 degrees F
Therefore, the difference in temperatures is 17 degrees F.
