Question

The temperature changes from 9°F to -5°F. Which of the following expressions model the distance on thermometer between 9°F and -5°F? Choose all the correct answers
A I -5 -9 I

B I 9 -5 I

C I 9- (-5) I

D I -5 (-9) I

E I -9 - (-5) I

Answer 1

Answer:

$d = |- 5- 9|$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial = 9^\circ F$

$Final = -5^\circ F$

Required

Determine the difference

Represent this with d.

d is calculated using

$d = |Final - Initial|$

The equation becomes

$d = |- 5- 9|$
