Range = High - low:
119° - (-54°) = 119° + 54° = 173°F
The range is 173 degrees from -54°F to 119°F
The only hard part is in subtracting the negative temperature, which is the same as adding the positive value...

The range is defined by the difference between the maximum and minimum values of a given set of data. Therefore,
Range = Max - Min = (119) - (-54) = 173 F
--------
Hope this helps
