Question

The temperatures on Mercury range from 279 F to 800 F. What is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures?

Answer 1

We're asked to find the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures.

Well, we know the highest temperature is

`T_"high" = 800` `""^"o""F"`

And the lowest temperature is given as

`T_"low" = 279` `""^"o""F"`

Perform the subtraction:

`T_"high" - T_"low" = 800color(white)(l)""^"o""F" - 279color(white)(l)""^"o""F" = color(red)(ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" "521color(white)(l)""^"o""F"" ")|)`
