Question

The average temperature in the mountains is 65° in April. The average temperature in that same spot is −5° in December. Determine how much warmer this location is in April than in December, and determine which temperature is the farthest away from 0°.

65 + |−5| = 70°, 65° is the farthest from 0°
65 − |−5| = 60°, 65° is the farthest from 0°
65 + |−5| = 70°, −5° is the farthest from 0°
65 − |−5| = 60°, −5° is the farthest from 0°

Answer 1

A
