The lowest temperature reached on a cold night was -6F. The next day had a high of 15F. What was the difference in temperature? [?]F

1 answer

To find the difference in temperature between the lowest temperature of -6°F and the highest temperature of 15°F, you can use the following calculation:

  1. Start with the highest temperature: 15°F
  2. Subtract the lowest temperature (-6°F) from it:

\[ \text{Difference} = 15°F - (-6°F) = 15°F + 6°F = 21°F \]

So, the difference in temperature is 21°F.
