Range = 56° (option C)
See explanation for detail
Explanation:
Range is the difference between the highest and the lowest.
The temperaures: 92', 75°, 87°, 36", 41', 80, 91°
We need to ensure they all have same unit by converting from minutes(') to degrees (°)
[tex]\begin{gathered} 60\text{ minutes = 1 degree} \\ 92^{\prime}\text{ = 92 minutes = }\frac{92}{60} \\ 92^{\prime}\text{ = 1.53}\degree \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 36^{\doubleprime}\text{ = 36 seconds} \\ 3600\text{ seconds = 1 degree} \\ 36\text{ seconds = }\frac{36}{3600}=\text{ 0.01}\degree \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 41^{\prime}\text{ = 41 minutes = }\frac{41}{60} \\ =\text{ 0.68}\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]The temperatures become: 1.53°, 75°, 87°, 0.01°, 0.68°, 91°
The smallest temperature = 0.01°
The highest temperature = 91°
Range = 91° - 0.01° = 90.99°
Not in the option.
If the units are the same (degrees):
92°, 75°, 87°, 36°, 41°, 80°, 91°
The smallest temperature = 36°
The highest temperature = 92°
Range = 92°-36°
Range = 56° (option C)
