Sagot :

Answer:

Temperature on Monday was 2 degrees Fahrenheit.

Temperature on Tuesday was absolute value of 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Absolute value is always a positive number but the actual temperature could have been positive or negative 4 degrees.

  • | ± 4 | = 4

If it was positive, then Rachel is correct, but if negative, then Tom is correct.
