Question

The temperature is changing every day by negative 3 over 16 degrees Fahrenheit. What will be the change in the temperature after 4 days?
negative 64 over 3 degrees Fahrenheit

negative 3 over 4 degrees Fahrenheit

3 over 64 degrees Fahrenheit

3 over 4 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the temperature is changing every day by negative 3 over 16 degrees Fahrenheit.

Change in the temperature after one day = $(-\frac{3}{16})^{\circ}Fahrenheit$

Change in the temperature after four days is 4 times of change in the temperature after one day.

Change in the temperature after four days = $4\times (-\frac{3}{16})^{\circ}Fahrenheit$

Cancel out common factors.

Change in the temperature after four days = $(-\frac{3}{4})^{\circ}Fahrenheit$

The change in the temperature after 4 days will be negative 3 over 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer 2

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{4}$  degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

• Everyday temperature is changing  $-\frac{3}{16}$ degrees.

• So, in 4 days, it is going to change  $4(-\frac{3}{16})=-\frac{12}{16}=-\frac{3}{4}$  degrees.

Second answer choice is correct.
