Answer:

3.5

Explanation:

the problem says 4.7 less than which refers to subtraction so we can plug our numbers into a subtraction problem like so

78.6-4.7 which equals 73.9

the second part of the problem asks the difference between yesterday's low and today's.

we can take the two lows and subtraction them to find this answer.

77.4-73.9 which equals 3.5

so today's low was 3.5 degrees cooler than yesturdays
