Question

The temperature in a town is 36.6°F during the day and -18.6°F at night. Find the difference in the temperatures.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the difference between the temperatures, we need to subtract the night temperature from the day temperature.

Difference = Day temperature - Night temperature

Difference = 36.6°F - (-18.6°F) (Note: Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive number)

Difference = 36.6°F + 18.6°F

Difference = 55.2°F

Therefore, the difference in temperature between day and night in the town is 55.2°F.
