The highest temperature recorded in the town of Westgate. This summer was 97 last winter. The lowest temperature recorded was -14. Find the difference between the extremes.

Answer 1

To find the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in Westgate, you can subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature.

The highest temperature recorded was 97°F, and the lowest was -14°F.

So, the difference is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Highest Temperature} - \text{Lowest Temperature} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 97 - (-14) \] \[ \text{Difference} = 97 + 14 \] \[ \text{Difference} = 111 \]

The difference between the extremes is 111 degrees.
