The high temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, of 10 U.S. cities during a day in October are listed below.

72, 50, 54, 66, 58, 79, 54, 99, 40, 68

What is the range of the temperatures?

1 answer

The range of the temperatures is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures.

First, let's find the highest temperature:
99°F

Now, let's find the lowest temperature:
40°F

The range is calculated by subtracting the lowest temperature from the highest temperature:
99°F - 40°F = 59°F

Therefore, the range of the temperatures is 59°F.
