Question

the bar graph to the right shows the average daily low temperature (in degrees fahrenheit) for a particular city. record the monthly increases and decreases in the low temperature from the previous month for the months in the table below. (simplify your answers.)

month	monthly increase or decrease (from the previous month)
march	4.2°f
april	13°f
may	\\(\square\\)°f

Explanation:

Step1: Identify April and May temperatures

From the bar graph, April's low temperature is \(-8.1^\circ F\) and May's is \(18.5^\circ F\).

Step2: Calculate the change

To find the monthly change (increase or decrease) from April to May, subtract April's temperature from May's: \(18.5 - (-8.1)\).

Step3: Simplify the subtraction

Subtracting a negative is adding the positive: \(18.5 + 8.1 = 26.6\).

Answer:

\(26.6\)
