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)

graph labels (approximate from axis): jan -18.1, feb -26.4, mar -21.1, apr -8.1, may 18.1, jun 28.3, jul 33.3, aug 33.3, sep 25.8, oct 9.8, nov -9.9, dec -17.5

Explanation:

Step1: Identify temperatures

From the bar graph, January's low temperature is \(-18.1^\circ\)F, February's is \(-26.4^\circ\)F.

Step2: Calculate change

To find the change from January to February, subtract January's temperature from February's: \(-26.4 - (-18.1)\).
Simplify: \(-26.4 + 18.1 = -8.3\). This means a decrease of \(8.3^\circ\)F.

Answer:

\(-8.3\)
