Question

What is the change in temperature from -8°F to 14°F?

1. 22°F
2. -22°F
3. -6°F
4. 6°F

Answer 1

The change in temperature from -8F to 14F would be 22F because -8 to 14 would require subtraction so 14 - (-8) is 22 and -8 + 22 = 14 so its true.

Answer: 1) 22F.

Answer 2

Simply subtract the larger number to the smaller one,

14 -(-8) = 14 + 8 = 22°F

Answer is 1.
