In Phoenix, Arizona, the average temperature is 85 degrees Fahrenheit or higher during 25% of the year. During about how many weeks of the year is the average temperature below 85 degrees Fahrenheit?

Respuesta :

Answer: 39 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The average temperature is [tex]85^{\circ}F[/tex] or higher

A year has 52 weeks

It is given 25% of the time-temperature is above [tex]85^{\circ}F[/tex]

So, in the remaining 75% of the weeks, the average temperature is less than [tex]85^{\circ}F[/tex]

No of weeks can be determined by

[tex]\Rightarrow 75\%\ \text{of}\ 52\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{75}{100}\times 52=39\ \text{weeks}[/tex]
