What percentage of temperatures are below 55°?
A) 25%
B) 75%
C) 50%
D) 20%

Answer 1

To find the percentage of temperatures below 55°, count the number of temperatures below 55° and divide by the total number of temperatures, then multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of temperatures below 55°, we need to determine how many temperatures out of the given set are below 55° and then calculate the percentage.

1. Count the number of temperatures below 55°. In this case, there are 2 temperatures below 55°.
2. Divide the number of temperatures below 55° by the total number of temperatures in the set. There are 7 temperatures in total.
3. Multiply the result by 100 to find the percentage: (2/7) * 100 = 28.57%.

Therefore, approximately 28.57% of the temperatures are below 55°.
