MULTIPLE CHOICE A thermometer is
accurate to +2°F. Which absolute value
equation can be used to find the greatest
and least possible temperatures if the
thermometer reading is 17°F?


Answer :

The absolute value equation which could be used to obtain the greatest and least possible temperature values when the temperature reading is 17°F is (17 ± 2)°F

  • Thermometer accuracy = ±2°F
  • Thermometer reading = 17°F

The least possible value of temperature can be calculated thus :

  • Thermometer reading - thermometer accuracy

  • 17 - 2 = 15°F

The highest possible temperature can be calculated thus :

  • Themometer reading - thermometer accuracy

  • 17 + 2 = 19°F

Hence, the absolute value equation which represents the scenario is (17 ± 2)°F
