Can anyone help?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The largest difference is between the smallest and the largest numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. Which is the smallest number of -12, -46, 5, and -75?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why not subtract instead of just randomly guess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-75

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. Which is the largest of the 4 numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so D

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. The largest difference has to be between the smallest and the largest of the numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Thanks

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Which location corresponds to 5? Which location corresponds to -75?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

D has Lago Enriquillo. That is -46. We don't need -46. We only need 5 and -75

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The answer has the two places that have elevations of -5 and 75. It's not D or C.
