Question

challenge the temperatures at sunrise and sunset are shown in the table. what was the temperature change on each day? on which day did the temperature change the most?
daily temperatures
temperature at sunrise (°c)\ttemperature at sunset (°c)
day 1\t- 12.98\t17.95
day 2\t- 9.47\t21.13
what was the temperature change on day 1?
30.93 °c
(simplify your answer. type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
what was the temperature change on day 2?
□°c
(simplify your answer. type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Day 1 change

Subtract sunrise temp from sunset temp. $17.95-(- 12.98)=17.95 + 12.98=30.93$ °C

Step2: Calculate Day 2 change

Subtract sunrise temp from sunset temp. $21.13-(-9.47)=21.13 + 9.47 = 30.60$ °C

Step3: Compare changes

Since $30.93>30.60$, Day 1 has the most change.

Answer:

• For Day 1: $30.93$ °C
• For Day 2: $30.60$ °C
• Day with most change: Day 1
