Worked Example 2

Solution:
Point A shows -10 ℃.
Point B shows 15 ℃.
Difference in temperature = 15 ℃ - (-10 ℃)
= 15℃ + 10 ℃
= 25 ℃
Practise Now 2

Solution:
Point A shows -10 ℃.
Point B shows 23 ℃.
Difference in temperature = 23 ℃ - (-10 ℃)
= 23 ℃ + 10 ℃
= 33 ℃
Practise Now 2

Solution:
Point C = 314 m above sea level
Point D = -165 m above sea level
Difference in altitude = 314 - (-165)
= 314 + 165
= 479 m
