Aboard a research station, Emek and Luna had to choose a planet for their next observation mission. Sensors recorded temperatures at four times during the day. Planet A measured 18, 22, 19, and 21 degrees Celsius. Planet B measured 12, 20, 25, and 17 degrees Celsius. Planet C measured 16, 18, 17, and 19 degrees Celsius. Emek and Luna plotted each set of measurements on a line graph. They compared how much the lines rose and fell. Planet B's graph showed large changes, while Planet A's temperatures varied less. Planet C had the smallest change, staying between 16 and 19 degrees Celsius. Since more stable temperatures would make observations easier, Emek and Luna chose Planet C. They entered their destination into the station computer and prepared for the mission.

Hint
For each planet, compare its highest temperature with its lowest temperature.
Which planet had the greatest temperature range during the day?
Planet APlanet BPlanet CPlanets A and C had the same greatest range
Correct. Planet B had the largest difference between its highest and lowest temperatures.
Check the highest and lowest temperature for each planet and find their difference.

Hint
First find the range for each planet by subtracting the lowest temperature from the highest. Then compare the two ranges.
How many degrees greater was Planet B's temperature range than Planet C's temperature range?
Correct. Planet B's range was 10 degrees greater than Planet C's range.
Find each planet's highest and lowest temperatures first, then subtract the two ranges.

Hint
Find the difference between the highest and lowest temperature for each planet and compare each result with 5.
Suppose Emek and Luna decide that a planet is stable enough if its temperature range is 5 degrees Celsius or less. Which planets meet this condition?
Planet A onlyPlanet C onlyPlanets A and CPlanets A, B, and C
Correct. Planet A and Planet C each have a temperature range of 5 degrees or less.
Calculate the temperature range of all three planets and check which ranges are no more than 5 degrees.
