On January 1st, the high temperature was 81℉ in Kona, Hawaii. The low temperature was -29℉ in Barrow, Alaska. What was the difference between the two temperatures?
Since it said "Find the DIFFERENCE" you subtract. 81 - (-29). The two negatives next to each other will cancel each other out and become positive. The new problem should say 81 + 29 =110.
