Question

The golfer with the highest score in a tournament was nine over par. The golfer with the lowest was five below par. What was the range in golf scores?

Answer 1

Answer: The range in golf scores was 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = Maximum - minimum

Values above some limit are represented by positive integers whereas values blow a certain limit is represented by negative numbers.

Given: The golfer with the highest score in a tournament was nine over par i.e. (9). The golfer with the lowest was five below par i.e. (-5 ).

So, the range in golf scores =  9-(-5)

=  9+5

= 14

Therefore, the range in golf scores was 14.
