Praxis 5003 Practice Question
Scenario/Extract:
The table shows the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) recorded at three different times on a certain day in Montana. What is the difference between the greatest and least recorded temperature, in "F, for the day?
What is the difference between the greatest and least recorded temperature, in "F, for the day?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the difference between the greatest and least recorded temperatures, subtract the lowest temperature from the highest. If the highest temperature recorded is 88°F and the lowest is 0°F, the calculation would be 88 - 0 = 88°F.
Option A (46) does not reflect the correct difference based on the provided temperatures. Option B (80) also fails to align with the subtraction result. Option D (89) exceeds the actual difference calculated. Thus, the only option that accurately represents the temperature difference is 88°F.
