degrees warmer

Answer 1

To find out how many degrees warmer the highest temperature (71°C) is than the lowest temperature (-93°C), you can use the following calculation:

1. Convert the lowest temperature to a positive value by adding 93°C: \[ 71°C - (-93°C) = 71°C + 93°C = 164°C \]

Thus, the highest temperature is 164 degrees warmer than the lowest temperature.
