Question

The weather temperature in summers is $\frac{156}{7}$ °F and, in winters, it drops by $\frac{13}{3}$ °F. Hence, the temperature in winters is .

• A. $\frac{468}{7}$ °F
• B. $\frac{377}{14}$ °F
• C. $\frac{377}{21}$ °F
• D. $\frac{91}{3}$ °F

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{377}{21}$ °F

Given:
The temperature in summers = $\frac{156}{7}$ °F
Temperature drops by = $\frac{13}{3}$ °F

The temperature in winters can be found by subtracting the drop in temperature from the temperature in summers.

$\therefore$ Temperature in winters = $\frac{156}{7}-\frac{13}{3}$
= $\frac{468-91}{21}$
= $\frac{377}{21}$ °F
