Question

The temperature at noon on each of five successive days is plotted on the graph shown to the right. Which day had the greatest increase in noon temperature from that of the previous day?

Answer 1

Tuesday.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete without a graph; find the graph attached.

From the graph attached,

Temperature on Monday → 80°

Temperature on Tuesday → 96°

Difference in the temperature from Monday and Tuesday = 96 - 80 = 16°

Temperature on Wednesday → 84°

Difference in the temperature from Tuesday and Wednesday = 84 - 96 = 8°

Temperature on Thursday → 92°

Difference in the temperature from Wednesday and Thursday = 92 - 84 = 8°

Temperature on Friday → 100°

Difference in the temperature from Thursday and Friday = 100 - 92 = 8°

Therefore, greatest difference or increase in the noon temperature (of 16°) from the previous day is Tuesday.
