Question

The temperature at the bottom of a mountain was 8°C and the temperature at the top was 26°C .Find the difference between the temperatures and find the mean of the two temperatures

Answer 1

Difference: 18° C

Mean: 17° C

Explanation:

Difference means to subtract.

26 - 8 = 18° C

Mean is the average of the two temperatures. To find average, add the two temperatures together, then divide the answer by two since there are two numbers being added.

26 + 8 = 34

34 ÷ 2 = 17° C
