Answer:

30.2°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Butane, the liquid that can be seen inside a transparent lighter, boils at a temperature slightly under the point at which water freezes. So why doesn't the butane in the lighter boil? Butane does indeed boil at about a degree below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but this is true only at normal atmospheric pressure. (:
