Question

On a certain day, a student measured the temperature inside a deep freezer and found that it was -3°C while the room temp was 24°C. What is the temperature difference between the room and deep freezer?

Answer 1

To find the temperature difference between the room and the deep freezer, you simply subtract the temperature inside the deep freezer from the room temperature:

Temperature difference = Room temperature - Deep freezer temperature

Temperature difference = 24°C - (-3°C)

To subtract a negative number, you can change it to addition:

Temperature difference = 24°C + 3°C

Temperature difference = 27°C

So, the temperature difference between the room and the deep freezer is 27 degrees Celsius.
