Math Problem Statement
Solution
I see the table and the questions provided in the uploaded image. Let me solve this step by step.
Table Summary:
- Monday: -5.5
- Tuesday: -4.3
- Wednesday: 3.8
- Thursday: -4.6
- Friday: -10.9
1. The average high temperature for these 5 days can be represented by :
Step 1: Add the temperatures:
Step 2: Divide by 5 (since there are 5 days):
So, the correct representation for the average is , not . This statement is False.
2. The average high temperature Wednesday through Friday is equivalent to :
Step 1: Add the temperatures for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday:
Step 2: Divide by 3 (since there are 3 days):
This matches the given value . This statement is True.
3. The average high temperature for Tuesday and Wednesday can be written as :
Step 1: Add the temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday:
Step 2: Divide by 2 (since there are 2 days):
The fraction simplifies to , which is incorrect as the average is . This statement is False.
4. The average high temperature for these 5 days is a rational number:
The average for the 5 days is:
Since this fraction represents a ratio of integers, it is a rational number. This statement is True.
Final Answers:
- False
- True
- False
- True
