Question

a group of people are in a sweat lodge for a ceremony. the temperature inside the sweat lodge is 40°c. outside the sweat lodge, the temperature is 15°c. answer 2 questions about the sweat lodge. 1. how far apart were the temperatures inside and outside of the sweat lodge? 2. what was the change in surrounding temperature when going from inside the sweat lodge to outside?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify temperatures

Inside temperature = $40^{\circ}C$, Outside temperature = $15^{\circ}C$

Step2: Calculate temperature difference for first question

$40 - 15=25^{\circ}C$

Step3: Calculate temperature change for second question

The change is from higher (inside) to lower (outside), so it is also $40 - 15 = 25^{\circ}C$, but the change is a decrease. We can represent it as $- 25^{\circ}C$ to show the direction of change. But if we are just looking at the magnitude of the change, it is $25^{\circ}C$.

Answer:

1. $25^{\circ}C$
2. $25^{\circ}C$ (magnitude of change)
