Let's solve each question based on the
line graph titled
"New York Temperature in April", which shows daily temperatures for a week from Sunday to Saturday.

Step 1: Read the temperature values from the graph
We'll extract the temperature for each day:
-
Sunday: 54°F
-
Monday: 55°F
-
Tuesday: 55°F
-
Wednesday: 57°F
-
Thursday: 58°F
-
Friday: 61°F
-
Saturday: 60°F

Question 1: Which day had the highest recorded temperature?
From the data:
- Friday = 61°F (highest)
- Saturday = 60°F
- Thursday = 58°F, etc.
✔ Answer: Friday
---
Question 2: How much warmer was Thursday than Sunday?
- Thursday: 58°F
- Sunday: 54°F
- Difference: 58 - 54 =
4°F
✔ Answer: 4°F
---
Question 3: How much colder was Tuesday than Saturday?
- Tuesday: 55°F
- Saturday: 60°F
- Difference: 60 - 55 =
5°F
So, Tuesday was
5°F colder than Saturday.
✔ Answer: 5°F

Question 4: Which two consecutive days saw the biggest temperature rise?
Let’s compute the daily increases:
-
Sun → Mon: 55 - 54 =
+1°F
-
Mon → Tue: 55 - 55 =
0°F (no change)
-
Tue → Wed: 57 - 55 =
+2°F
-
Wed → Thu: 58 - 57 =
+1°F
-
Thu → Fri: 61 - 58 =
+3°F
-
Fri → Sat: 60 - 61 =
-1°F (decrease)
The
biggest rise is
+3°F from
Thursday to Friday.
✔ Answer: Thursday and Friday

Question 5: Answer true, false, or can’t tell
#### a) Each day during the week was warmer than the day before.
Check:
- Sun → Mon: 54 → 55
✔
- Mon → Tue: 55 → 55
✘ (same, not warmer)
- Tue → Wed: 55 → 57
✔
- Wed → Thu: 57 → 58
✔
- Thu → Fri: 58 → 61
✔
- Fri → Sat: 61 → 60
✘ (cooler)
✘ Not every day was warmer. So this is
False.
✔ Answer: False
---
#### b) The first half of the week was cooler than the last half of the week.
First half:
Sun, Mon, Tue
Temperatures: 54, 55, 55 → average = (54+55+55)/3 = 54.67°F
Last half:
Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat
Temperatures: 57, 58, 61, 60 → average = (57+58+61+60)/4 = 59°F
Clearly, the second half was warmer.
✔ Answer: True
---
#### c) The difference between the warmest and coldest day was 7°F.
Warmest: Friday = 61°F
Coldest: Sunday = 54°F
Difference: 61 - 54 =
7°F
✔ Answer: True
---
#### d) Monday was a wetter day than Sunday.
The graph only shows
temperature, not precipitation or humidity. There is
no information about how wet the days were.
✔ Answer: Can't tell

✔ Final Answers:
1)
Friday
2)
4°F
3)
5°F
4)
