Q. When discussing temperature, meteorologists talk about temperature as it relates to the freezing point. The freezing point is 0∘ 0{ }^{\circ} Celsius.\newlineOn Monday, it is 4∘ 4^{\circ} above zero.\newlineOn Tuesday, it is 2∘ 2^{\circ} above zero.\newlineOn Wednesday, it is 1∘ 1^{\circ} below zero.\newlineOn Thursday, it is 4∘ 4^{\circ} below zero.\newlineWhich two days are the same distance from the freezing point?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Monday and Tuesday\newline(B) Wednesday and Thursday\newline(C) Monday and Thursday\newline(D) Tuesday and Wednesday
  1. Understand concept of distance: Understand the concept of distance from the freezing point.\newlineThe distance from the freezing point is the absolute value of the temperature. This means we ignore whether the temperature is above or below zero and just consider how many degrees away it is from the freezing point.
  2. Calculate distance for Monday: Calculate the distance from the freezing point for Monday.\newlineMonday's temperature is 44 degrees above zero. The distance from the freezing point is the absolute value of 44, which is 44.
  3. Calculate distance for Tuesday: Calculate the distance from the freezing point for Tuesday.\newlineTuesday's temperature is 22 degrees above zero. The distance from the freezing point is the absolute value of 22, which is 22.
  4. Calculate distance for Wednesday: Calculate the distance from the freezing point for Wednesday.\newlineWednesday's temperature is 11 degree below zero. The distance from the freezing point is the absolute value of −1-1, which is 11.
  5. Calculate distance for Thursday: Calculate the distance from the freezing point for Thursday.\newlineThursday's temperature is 44 degrees below zero. The distance from the freezing point is the absolute value of −4-4, which is 44.
  6. Compare distances: Compare the distances to find which two days are the same distance from the freezing point.\newlineFrom the calculations above, Monday and Thursday both have a distance of 44 degrees from the freezing point. Therefore, they are the same distance from the freezing point.
