4. If 25% were sick, then the crew that showed up was 75% of the full crew. If 1/3 of those 75% went home early, then the remaining (2/3)(75%) = 50% were the fraction working at the end of the day.

5. The Fridays in January were Jan 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30. The middle of the month was the 16th. For something like this, it can help to read through a couple of times, as the relations are not given in a way that gives a solution without skipping around.
We are given that the temp on the 30th was 5°, and that the 23rd was 7° less, so -2°. The low on the 2nd was 3° lower than on the 23rd, so was -5°. The temp on the 16th was 6° higher than on the 2nd, so was -5+6 = 1°, and the temp on the 9th was 2° lower than that, so -1°.
The low temperatures were ...
- 2nd: -5°
- 9th: -1°
- 16th: 1°
- 23rd: -2°
- 30th: 5°
