Suppose the average temperature for a 4‐day period in Chicago, Illinois, is ‐8Ԭ. After the next day, the 5‐day average is ‐9Ԭ. What was the low temperature for the fifth day? Explain your reasoning by showing your work or writing down your thoughts and answer.

-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Average temperature for a period of 4 days = - 8

Average temperature for a 5 day period = - 9

Temperature on the 5th day:

(total temp for the 4 days + 5th day temperature) / 5 = - 9

Let 5th day temperature = x

Total temperature for the 4 days = 4 * - 8 = - 32

(-32 + x) / 5 = - 9

-32 + x = - 45

x = - 45 + 32

x = - 13

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour
