Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

-(49.62+34.68)=84.3

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (C) 14.94°C will be the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given:-

• The average temperature at the South Pole = -49.62°C

• The average temperature at the North Pole = -34.68°C

Now, to find that how much higher is the average temperature at the North Pole than at the South Pole, we will have to subtract the average temperature of South Pole from the average temperature of North Pole:-

→ -34.68°C - (-49.62°C)

→ -34.68°C + 49.62°C

→ 14.94°C

Therefore, the average temperature of North Pole is 14.94°C higher than the average temperature of South Pole.
