Respuesta :

Answer:

  • Sal is wrong, correct answer is 26°F

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Initial temperature = -4°F
  • Temperature at noon = 22°F

Temperature change:

  • 22 - (-4) = 22 + 4 = 26°F

Sal is wrong as the difference should be calculated as subtraction of the two values and absolute value of the result should be taken as the answer

Answer:

Sal was wrong as the change of temperature is 26°F

Step-by-step explanation:

recorded temperature at 7:30 A.M. = -4°F

                                             at noon = 22°F

change of temperature = 22 - (-4) = 26°F

therefore, Sal was wrong as the change of temperature is 26°F
