Answer 1

B. The average temperature, which is 33.25 °C

Explanation

The average between two values is computed as follows:

`average=\frac{value\text{ 1 + value 2}}{2}`

In this case, we need to calculate the average between 31.5 °C and 35 °C, then:

`\begin{gathered} average\text{ temperature = }(31.5+35)/(2) \\ average\text{ temperature=}\frac{\text{66.5}}{\text{2}} \\ average\text{ temperature=33.25 \degree C} \end{gathered}`
