Question

The mean temperature change is $-3.2°$F per day for $5$ days. Write and solve an equation to find the total change over the $5$-day period

Answer 1

Given: The mean temperature change is $-3.2°$F per day for $5$ days

As given the mean temperature change $=-3.2°$F per day
Then the total change in temperature for $5$ days$=5\times -3.2=-16°$F

Hence, the total change in temperature for $5$ days is$-16°$F.
