Billy Davidson · Answer 2

Option c - |10.5 - (-6.1) |

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A weather station records the morning low temperature as - 6.1°F and the afternoon high temperature as 10.5°F.

To find : Which expression represents the total temperature change, in degrees Fahrenheit, from the morning low to the afternoon high?

Solution:

A weather station records the morning low temperature as - 6.1°F.

A weather station records the afternoon high temperature as 10.5°F.

The total temperature change, in degrees Fahrenheit, from the morning low to the afternoon high is given by,

Change in temperature = |Temperature at high - Temperature at low|

Change in temperature = |10.5 - (-6.1) |

Therefore, Option c is correct.
