In February, the record low temperature For ST. Paul, Minnesota was -3 F. InJanuary, St. Pol had a record low that was 6 times that of February's What wasThe record low temperature in January?b. During a drought of one week, the change in the water level of Lake Sapp was 4inches each day. Find the net change in the level of Lake Sapp during the drought.C. Jay went on a det and lost 5 pounds each month And Jay's net weight change in 6months.

Answer 1

For this problem, we are given a few situations and we need to calculate the outcome based on the information.

For the first one, we are told that the record low temperature for ST. Paul was -3 F, we are also told that in January the record low was 6 times that. We need to calculate the record in January.

To do that, we need to multiply the record low in February with 6. We have:

`\text{ Record low January}=-3\cdot6=-18\text{ F}`

The answer for a is -18 F.

In the second situation, we are told that the level of a lake changes 4 inches per day. We need to determine the change in the level of the lake over a week. For that, we need to multiply the rate of change per day by 7. We have:

`\text{ Level over the drought}=7\cdot4=28`

The answer for b is 28 inches.

For the third situation, we are told that Jay went on a diet losing 5 pounds per month. We need to calculate the net weight change in 6 months. For that, we need to multiply the amount of weight he lost per month by 6. We have:

`\text{ Weight =}5\cdot6=30\text{ pounds}`

The answer for c is 30 pounds.

The answers are: -18,28,30.
