If during the day the maximum air temperature was +3, and the minimum -5, then the temperature amplitude will be …

Explanation

The temperature amplitude is the sum of the modules of the largest and smallest values.

Solution

1) (Take the smallest value)

module from – 5 = 5;

2) (We take the module of the highest temperature)

module of + 3 = 3;

3) (Summing up their numerical values)

5 + 3 = 8.

8 is # 3.

The correct answer is number 3.
