Activity 3: Solve the following problems. 1. If the temperature at 11 o’clock in the morning is 28.5\u00c2\u00b0C and becomes 32.7\u00c2\u00b0C, what is the average temperature? 2. Pedro’s temperature this morning was 38.1\u00c2\u00b0C. After 2 hours, his temperature was 39.3\u00c2\u00b0C. Did it improve or get worse? How many degrees did his temperature increase<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s break down each question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Average Temperature:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To calculate the average temperature, we use the formula for the arithmetic mean: Average Temperature=Initial Temperature+Final Temperature2\\text{Average Temperature} = \\frac{\\text{Initial Temperature} + \\text{Final Temperature}}{2}Average Temperature=2Initial Temperature+Final Temperature\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Initial Temperature: 28.5\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Final Temperature: 32.7\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/strong> The average temperature is 30.6\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Pedro’s Temperature Change:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To determine whether Pedro’s temperature improved or got worse, we compare the initial and final temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Initial Temperature: 38.1\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Final Temperature: 39.3\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To calculate how much the temperature increased: Temperature Increase=Final Temperature\u2212Initial Temperature\\text{Temperature Increase} = \\text{Final Temperature} – \\text{Initial Temperature}Temperature Increase=Final Temperature\u2212Initial Temperature Temperature Increase=39.3\u00b0C\u221238.1\u00b0C=1.2\u00b0C\\text{Temperature Increase} = 39.3\u00b0C – 38.1\u00b0C = 1.2\u00b0CTemperature Increase=39.3\u00b0C\u221238.1\u00b0C=1.2\u00b0C<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since his temperature increased from 38.1\u00b0C to 39.3\u00b0C, it got worse<\/strong>, indicating that his condition deteriorated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/strong> Pedro’s temperature increased by 1.2\u00b0C, and his condition worsened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For the first problem, the calculation of the average temperature is straightforward: you simply add the two temperatures and divide by 2, which gives a good estimate of the mean temperature during that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the second problem, the increase in Pedro’s temperature suggests he is running a fever. An increase of 1.2\u00b0C indicates that his temperature is moving further away from the normal body temperature range (around 37\u00b0C), which can be a sign of illness or infection. Thus, it\u2019s important for Pedro to monitor his health further or seek medical attention if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
