Answer:
The maximum and minimum temperatures recorded by the thermometer when checked by Wednesday morning are 5°C and -5°C
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
A maximum and minimum thermometer is used which records maximum and minimum values as follows;
Initial temperature on Sunday at the time of resetting the thermometer = 4°C
Temperature drop overnight = 5°C, new low = 4 - 5 = -1°C,
Temperature rise on Monday = 6°C. New high = -1 + 6 = 5°C
Temperature drop on Monday night = 10°C. New low = 5 - 10 = -5°C
Temperature rise on Tuesday = 4°C = New high = 4 + - 5 = -1°C
Temperature drop on Tuesday night = 2°C. New low = -1 - 2 = -3°C
Therefore, the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded by the thermometer when checked by Wednesday morning are 5°C and -5°C.
