Question

The record low temperature in Hawaii is -0.15 times the record low temperature in Alaska. The record low temperature in Hawaii is 12°F. What is the record low temperature in Alaska?

Answer 1

Answer:the record low temperature in Alaska = -80°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the temperature in Alaska be = x

such that  the temperature in Hawaii be -0.15 times temperature in Alaska = -0.15 x.

Step 2

IF the   record low temperature in Hawaii is 12°F.

Alaska = ??

We know that

Hawaii= -0.15 x temperature Alaska ( 0.15 x)

12°F=-0.15 x temperature Alaska(x)

Temperature of Alaska, x =  12°F/-0.15

= -80°F
