Q. In which story is the answer to the question 00?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)In Montana, where Lexi lives, the lowest temperature recorded is 70°F-70\degree\text{F}. Yesterday, the temperature was 70°F70\degree\text{F}. How much higher was yesterday's temperature compared to the lowest temperature recorded?\newline(B)In Montana, where Lexi lives, the lowest temperature recorded is 70°F-70\degree\text{F}. Yesterday, the temperature was 70°F70\degree\text{F} higher than the lowest temperature recorded. What was yesterday's temperature?
  1. Calculate Temperature Difference: Solve story (A). Calculate the difference in temperature between yesterday and the lowest recorded temperature.\newlineCalculation: 70°F(70°F)=140°F70\degree F - (-70\degree F) = 140\degree F
  2. Determine Yesterday's Temperature: Solve story (B). Determine yesterday's temperature based on the lowest recorded temperature.\newlineCalculation: 70°F+70°F=0°F-70\degree F + 70\degree F = 0\degree F
  3. Identify Correct Answer: Identify which story's answer is 00. From Step 11, the difference is 140°F140\degree F. From Step 22, yesterday's temperature is 0°F0\degree F.
