Answer:

Sal was wrong as the change of temperature is 26°F

Explanation:

recorded temperature at 7:30 A.M. = -4°F

at noon = 22°F

change of temperature = 22 - (-4) = 26°F

therefore, Sal was wrong as the change of temperature is 26°F

Answer:

  • Sal is wrong, correct answer is 26°F

Explanation:

  • Initial temperature = -4°F
  • Temperature at noon = 22°F

Temperature change:

  • 22 - (-4) = 22 + 4 = 26°F

Sal is wrong as the difference should be calculated as subtraction of the two values and absolute value of the result should be taken as the answer
