Question

On the next day, the temperature at sunrise was −5°C. The temperature rose to 11°C in the afternoon and fell by 14°C at midnight.

Find the positive difference between the temperatures at midnight and sunrise

Answer 1

Answer:

3°C

Step-by-step explanation:

temperature at sunrise = - 5°C

temperature rose by 11° to afternoon.

so, temperature in the afternoon = -5°C + 11°C

= 6°C

similarly temperature at midnight = 6°C +( -14°)C

= -8°C

Hence positive difference in temperature between sunrise and midnight = -5°C -(-8)°C

= -5°C + 8°C

=3°C
