The temperature started at 35°F. If the temperature went down 4°F and then up 2°F, whats is the temperature difference relative to the high temperature?

1 answer

The high temperature refers to the final temperature after the increase of 2°F.

To find the final temperature, we start with 35°F, then subtract 4°F:
35°F - 4°F = 31°F.

Finally, we add 2°F to get the high temperature:
31°F + 2°F = 33°F.

The temperature difference relative to the high temperature is:
33°F - 35°F = -2°F.
