On a certain day: Temperature = -12/5 degree Fahrenheit

$T_0=-(12)/(5)^(\circ)F^{}$

2 days later, the temperature decreased by a factor of 7/3

The temperature is calculated as shown below:

$\begin{gathered} T=-(12)/(5)*(7)/(3) \\ T=-(12*7)/(5*3) \\ T=-(84)/(15)=-(28)/(3) \\ T=-(28)/(3) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is
