The mean temperature for the first 7 days in January was 5 °C.

The temperature on the 8th day was 1 °C.
What is the mean temperature for the first 8 days in January?

total temperatures for 7 days = 7 (because average was 1).

Total temperatures for 8 days is 15.

The 8-day average (mean) temperature is 15/8 or 1.875 degrees.
