Question

a group of people are in a sweat lodge for a ceremony. the temperature inside the sweat lodge is 40 °c. outside the sweat lodge, the temperature is 15 °c. answer 2 questions about the sweat lodge. 1. how far apart were the temperatures inside and outside of the sweat lodge? 2. what was the change in surrounding temperature for a person who went from inside the sweat lodge to outside?

Explanation:

Step1: Find temperature difference for question 1

$40 - 15=25$

Step2: Find temperature change for question 2

The change in temperature when going from inside ($40^{\circ}C$) to outside ($15^{\circ}C$) is also calculated by subtracting the outside - temperature from the inside - temperature. So, $40 - 15 = 25$. The temperature decreases by $25^{\circ}C$.

Answer:

1. $25^{\circ}C$
2. Decrease of $25^{\circ}C$
