Question

He lowest temperature on May 15 is 2 3 as warm as the warmest temperature on May 15. The lowest temperature on May 15 is 60?F. What is the warmest temperature on May 15?

Answer 1

Answer:

$90^{o}F$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be warmest temperature on May 15.

We have been given that the lowest temperature on May 15 is 2/3 as warm as the warmest temperature on May 15. The lowest temperature on May 15 is $60^{o}F$.

We can set our given information in an equation as: $\frac{2}{3}x=60$.

Now let us solve for x by multiplying both sides of our equation by 3.

$3*\frac{2}{3}x=3*60$

$2x=180$

$x=\frac{180}{2}$

$x=90$

Therefore, the warmest temperature on May 15 was $90^{o}F$.
