Answer 1

$\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}$

In the Sahara Desert, one day the temperature was 58°C. On the same day, the temperature in Gobi Desert was -47°C. What is the difference between these two temperatures?

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

• The temperature in Sahara Desert = 58°C
• The temperature in Gobi Desert = - 47°C

Our question is to find the difference between their temperatures on that particular day. Note that ⇨ difference is the keyword for subtraction. So, to find the difference we need to subtract their temperatures.

58°C - (- 47°C)

= 58°C + 47°C

= 105°C

So, there was a difference of about 105°C between the temperatures of the Sahara & the Gobi Desert on that particular day.

Answer 2

Answer:

= 186 F

136 F is taken as the steam point

-50 F is taken as the ice point

∴ difference = steam point - ice point

= 136- (-50)

= 186F
