Question

In the Sahara Desert one day it was 136°F. In the Gobi Desert a temperature of -50°F was recorded. What is the difference between these two temperatures?

Answer 1

186 `F`

Explanation:

136`F` is taken as the steam point

-50`F` is taken as the ice point

`therefore` difference = steam point - ice point

                          = 136- (-50)

                          = 186F
