How many degrees did his temperature increase?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-1-color\">The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the average temperature, we use the formula for the average of two numbers: Average&nbsp;Temperature=Initial&nbsp;Temperature+Final&nbsp;Temperature2\\text{Average Temperature} = \\frac{\\text{Initial Temperature} + \\text{Final Temperature}}{2}Average&nbsp;Temperature=2Initial&nbsp;Temperature+Final&nbsp;Temperature\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Initial temperature = 28.5\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final temperature = 32.7\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Substituting the values: Average&nbsp;Temperature=28.5+32.72=61.22=30.6\u00b0C\\text{Average Temperature} = \\frac{28.5 + 32.7}{2} = \\frac{61.2}{2} = 30.6\u00b0CAverage&nbsp;Temperature=228.5+32.7\u200b=261.2\u200b=30.6\u00b0C<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the average temperature is <strong>30.6\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine whether Pedro&#8217;s temperature improved or got worse, we compare the two temperatures. The initial temperature is 38.1\u00b0C, and after 2 hours, it increases to 39.3\u00b0C. Since the temperature increased, we can conclude that <strong>Pedro&#8217;s condition worsened<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find how many degrees his temperature increased, we subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature: Temperature&nbsp;Increase=39.3\u221238.1=1.2\u00b0C\\text{Temperature Increase} = 39.3 &#8211; 38.1 = 1.2\u00b0CTemperature&nbsp;Increase=39.3\u221238.1=1.2\u00b0C<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Pedro&#8217;s temperature increased by <strong>1.2\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>Problem 1<\/strong>, calculating the average temperature between two given times is straightforward. The formula used finds the midpoint of the temperature range, providing a fair estimate of the overall temperature for the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Problem 2<\/strong>, we assess Pedro\u2019s condition by noting whether the temperature increased or decreased. A higher temperature typically suggests an ongoing fever or worsening health condition. The increase of 1.2\u00b0C over 2 hours means Pedro\u2019s health may require attention. Monitoring such changes in temperature is crucial for tracking a person&#8217;s health over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-574.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256122\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Activity 3: Solve the following problems. 1.
