Question

The range of the integers 20, 6, 18, -15, -12 is
a) 20
b) 35
c) -25
d) -15

Answer 1

I also think the right option is B)- 35

Answer 2

B. 35

Explanation:

The range of a set of numbers is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers in the set.

1. Find the highest and lowest numbers from the set. Arranging them from least to greatest can make this easier.

-15, -12, 6, 18, 20

The lowest number is -15 and the highest is 20.

2. Subtract these two numbers to find the range.

20 -- 15

Two minus signs like that make a positive, so it becomes an addition problem.

20 + 15 = 35

Answer is b.
