Question

2. The mean temperature in an area is 74 degrees Fahrenheit. The sum of the temperatures is

2,516. How many temperatures are in the set?

Answer 1

To find the number of temperatures in the set, we can divide the sum of the temperatures by the mean temperature.

Number of temperatures = Sum of temperatures / Mean temperature

In this case, the sum of temperatures is given as 2,516 and the mean temperature is given as 74 degrees Fahrenheit.

Number of temperatures = 2,516 / 74

Calculating the division:

Number of temperatures ≈ 34.05

Since we cannot have a fraction of a temperature, we need to round the result to the nearest whole number. Therefore, there are approximately 34 temperatures in the set.
