GEOGRAPHY In Mongolia, the temperature can fall

to –45ºC in January. The temperature in July may
reach 40ºC. What is the difference between these
two temperatures?
To find the difference in temperatures, subtract the
lower temperature from the higher temperature.
40 – (–45) = 40 + 45 To subtract –45, add 45.
= 85 Simplify.
Answer: The difference between the temperatures
is 85ºC.
TEMPERATURE On a particular day in Anchorage,
Alaska, the high temperature was 15ºF and the low
