Hi
I am doing number ranges - Find the range of these four numbers:
4,6,10,12
How do you work this out?

Re: Number range
OK, Thomas, the first step is to find the Largest and Smallest number.
Largest = 12
Smallest = 4
Then the range is just the difference between Largest and Smallest
So, 12 - 4 = 8 !!
So the Range is 8

Re: Number range
The largest number is: 12
The smallest number is:4
so 12 - 4 = 8 and 8 is the range O.K
