Transcript text: The list below shows the temperature Zachary record four days last January.
Monday: $-20^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
Tuesday: $-6^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
Wednesday: $-1^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
Thursday: $-27^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
On which of the days did Zachary record the lowest temperature?
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the day with the lowest temperature, we need to compare the recorded temperatures for each day and identify the minimum value.
Step 1: Record Temperatures
The recorded temperatures for each day are as follows:
\( \text{Monday} = -20^{\circ} \mathrm{F} \)
\( \text{Tuesday} = -6^{\circ} \mathrm{F} \)
\( \text{Wednesday} = -1^{\circ} \mathrm{F} \)
\( \text{Thursday} = -27^{\circ} \mathrm{F} \)
Step 2: Identify the Lowest Temperature
To find the lowest temperature, we compare the values:
\( -20, -6, -1, -27 \)
The minimum value among these temperatures is \( -27 \).
Step 3: Determine the Corresponding Day
The day corresponding to the lowest temperature of \( -27^{\circ} \mathrm{F} \) is Thursday.
Final Answer
The day on which Zachary recorded the lowest temperature is \\(\boxed{\text{Thursday}}\\).
