The Attempt at a Solution
I know this seems easy, but I'm not getting the right answer:
Sun. to Mon. = -4 degrees
Mon to Tues. = 8 degrees
Tues. to Wed. = -5 degrees
Wed. to Thurs. = 0 degree
Thurs. to Fri. = -1 degree
Fri. to Sat. = 4 degrees
Sat. to Sun. = -2 degrees
Added them up and got: 0 degree
Am I suppose to just add up the absolute value of the temperature changes?
