Question

He lowest temperature on May 15 is 2 3 as warm as the warmest temperature on May 15. The lowest temperature on May 15 is 60?F. What is the warmest temperature on May 15?

Answer 1

`90^(o)F`.

Explanation:

Let x be warmest temperature on May 15.

We have been given that the lowest temperature on May 15 is 2/3 as warm as the warmest temperature on May 15. The lowest temperature on May 15 is
`60^(o)F`.

We can set our given information in an equation as:
`(2)/(3)x=60`.

Now let us solve for x by multiplying both sides of our equation by 3.

`3*(2)/(3)x=3*60`

`2x=180`

`x=(180)/(2)`

`x=90`

Therefore, the warmest temperature on May 15 was
`90^(o)F`.
