The correct Answer is:
To find the minimum temperature on Sunday, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: List the temperatures from Monday to Saturday The temperatures for the week from Monday to Saturday are: - Monday: 20°C - Tuesday: 18.6°C - Wednesday: 17°C - Thursday: 21.4°C - Friday: 19°C - Saturday: 19.8°C ### Step 2: Calculate the total temperature for Monday to Saturday Now, we will sum these temperatures: \[ \text{Total from Monday to Saturday} = 20 + 18.6 + 17 + 21.4 + 19 + 19.8 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 20 + 18.6 = 38.6 \] \[ 38.6 + 17 = 55.6 \] \[ 55.6 + 21.4 = 77 \] \[ 77 + 19 = 96 \] \[ 96 + 19.8 = 115.8 \] So, the total temperature from Monday to Saturday is **115.8°C**. ### Step 3: Set up the equation for the average temperature We know that the average temperature for the whole week (7 days) is 19.5°C. The average is calculated by dividing the total temperature by the number of days: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total Temperature}}{\text{Number of Days}} \] Let \( x \) be the temperature on Sunday. Therefore, the total temperature for the week (including Sunday) is: \[ 115.8 + x \] The equation for the average becomes: \[ 19.5 = \frac{115.8 + x}{7} \] ### Step 4: Multiply both sides by 7 to eliminate the fraction \[ 19.5 \times 7 = 115.8 + x \] Calculating \( 19.5 \times 7 \): \[ 19.5 \times 7 = 136.5 \] So we have: \[ 136.5 = 115.8 + x \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), we subtract 115.8 from both sides: \[ x = 136.5 - 115.8 \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 20.7 \] ### Conclusion The minimum temperature on Sunday is **20.7°C**. ---
