Question 43239: Can someone help me solve this problem?
The lowest temperature ever recorded in the state of Oregon was -54 degree F (in Seneca, on February 10, 1933). The state's record high temperature occurred in Pendleton on August 10, 1898, when it reached 119 degree F. What is the historical temperature range in the state of Oregon?
Thanks,
Lyn

Range = highest temp - lowest temp
Range = 119 - (-54)
Range = 119 + 54 =
173 degrees

The minimum temperature recorded in Oregon was F and the maximum temperature recorded there was F.
So the historical range of temperature is from F to F which is written as [-54,119] degrees Farenheit.

range means space from the highest to lowest. It can be expressed as -54 to 119 or (119--54)=(119+54)=173.
The historical temperature range (range=highest-lowest)=173 degrees. That means Oregon temperature has a RANGE of 173 degrees.
