Question

On Sunday, the wind chill temperature reached -36°F. On Monday, the wind chill temperature only reached 1/4 of Sunday's wind chill temperature. What was the lowest wind chill temperature on Monday?

a) -9°F
b) -36 1/4°F
c) -40°F
d) -144°F

Answer 1

The lowest wind chill temperature on Monday was -9°F, which is 1/4 of Sunday's -36°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about calculating the wind chill temperature on a day following a significant drop in temperature. On Sunday, the wind chill temperature was -36°F. To find Monday's lowest wind chill temperature, which is 1/4 of Sunday's temperature, we multiply -36°F by 1/4 to get -9°F. Therefore, the lowest wind chill temperature on Monday was -9°F.

To find the lowest wind chill temperature on Monday, we need to calculate 1/4 of Sunday's wind chill temperature. The wind chill temperature on Sunday was -36°F, so 1/4 of that would be -36/4 = -9°F. Therefore, the lowest wind chill temperature on Monday was -9°F (option a).
