Rohan describes the dataset 16, 40, 39, 45, 20 by calculating the spread. Which equation gives the value of the spread?(1 point)

Question

Responses

45−16=29
45 minus 16 equals 29

40−16=24
40 minus 16 equals 24

40−20=20
40 minus 20 equals 20

45−20=25

Answer 1

The spread of a dataset is calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value. In this case, the smallest number in the dataset is 16 and the largest number is 45.

Therefore, the correct equation to calculate the spread is:

45 − 16 = 29

So, the answer is:

45−16=29
