Question

This February only one quarter of the days had an average temperature above freezing (32 degrees). How many days in February were below freezing?

Answer 1

21 days

Explanation:

There are 28 days in February.

If one quarter of the days had a temperature above freezing, that means that three quarters of the days had a temperature below freezing.

Find how many days were below freezing by multiplying 28 by 3/4

28(3/4)

= 21

So, 21 days in February were below freezing.

Answer 2

21 days

Explanation:

February has 28 days

28/4=7

1 quarter of 28 is 7

Since one quarter was above freezing, 3 were below freezing

3x7=21

21 days is the final answer
