Answer:

\(-\frac{3}{4}\)  degrees Fahrenheit


Step-by-step explanation:

  • Everyday temperature is changing  \(-\frac{3}{16}\) degrees.
  • So, in 4 days, it is going to change  \(4(-\frac{3}{16})=-\frac{12}{16}=-\frac{3}{4}\)  degrees.

Second answer choice is correct.

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the temperature is changing every day by negative 3 over 16 degrees Fahrenheit.

Change in the temperature after one day = \((-\frac{3}{16})^{\circ}Fahrenheit\)

Change in the temperature after four days is 4 times of change in the temperature after one day.

Change in the temperature after four days = \(4\times (-\frac{3}{16})^{\circ}Fahrenheit\)

Cancel out common factors.

Change in the temperature after four days = \((-\frac{3}{4})^{\circ}Fahrenheit\)

The change in the temperature after 4 days will be negative 3 over 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
