Option A, 65 + |−5| = 70°, 65° is the farthest from 0°
Here, we are given that.
The average temperature in the mountains is 65° in April.
The average temperature in that same spot is −5° in December.
Thus, the difference in the temperature will be-
65 - (-5)
= 65 + 5
= 70°
Therefore, this location is 70° warmer in April than in December.
Now, their distance from 0 will be-
|65 - 0| = 65
as distance cannot be negative, we look at only the absolute difference.
Similarly |-5 -0| = 5
Thus, we see that 65° is the farthest from 0°.
Hence, option A, 65 + |−5| = 70°, 65° is the farthest from 0°, is the correct answer.
