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. Take the highest temperature: 71°C
2. Take the lowest temperature: -93°C
3. Subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature:

\[ 71 - (-93) = 71 + 93 = 164 \]

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

Therefore, the answer is 164 degrees warmer.
