Answer 1

a. The lowest pressure on September 3 was 950 mb at 45° S, 90° W. c. On September 6, Typhoon Songda reached a low pressure of 975 mb at 24° N, 128° E. d. On September 4, there was a center of low pressure of 960 mb at 40° S, 30° W. e. On September 6, Hurricane Frances reached a low pressure of 980 mb at 29° N, 85° W.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To convert the pressure from mb to kPa, we divide by 10. Thus, 950 mb is equal to 95 kPa.

b. The statement is not mentioned in the given information.

c. To convert the pressure from mb to kPa, we divide by 10. Thus, 975 mb is equal to 97.5 kPa.

d. To convert the pressure from mb to kPa, we divide by 10. Thus, 960 mb is equal to 96 kPa.

e. To convert the pressure from mb to kPa, we divide by 10. Thus, 980 mb is equal to 98 kPa.
