thurs to friday is that right or are they asking for just 1 answer im confused
No one has answered this question yet.
Can you pls help
Weds to Thurs
To find the two-day period with the greatest change in temperature, you can calculate the difference between temperatures for each consecutive day and compare the values.
1. Calculate the temperature difference for each day by subtracting the temperature of the previous day from the temperature of the current day.
- Monday to Tuesday: 6°F - (-12°F) = 18°F
- Tuesday to Wednesday: (-4°F) - 6°F = -10°F
- Wednesday to Thursday: (-9°F) - (-4°F) = -5°F
- Thursday to Friday: 8°F - (-9°F) = 17°F
2. Take the absolute value of each difference to consider only magnitude, irrespective of positive or negative values.
- Monday to Tuesday: |18°F| = 18°F
- Tuesday to Wednesday: |-10°F| = 10°F
- Wednesday to Thursday: |-5°F| = 5°F
- Thursday to Friday: |17°F| = 17°F
From the calculated values, you can see that the two-day period with the greatest change in temperature is from Thursday to Friday, with a change of 17 degrees Fahrenheit.
Therefore, your answer of the two-day periods being Monday to Tuesday and Thursday to Friday is correct. The question does not specify whether they are asking for just one answer or multiple answers, so providing multiple valid options is acceptable.
