GPT 3.5
First, let's find the temperature in December:
December's average temperature = November's average temperature - 7.7
December's average temperature = $-8.3 - 7.7 = -16\degree$ Fahrenheit
Now, let's find the temperature in January:
January's average temperature = $\frac{5}{4}$ * December's average temperature
January's average temperature = $\frac{5}{4}$ * $-16 = -20\degree$ Fahrenheit
Therefore, the average temperature at the North Pole in January is $-20\degree$ Fahrenheit.
December's average temperature = November's average temperature - 7.7
December's average temperature = $-8.3 - 7.7 = -16\degree$ Fahrenheit
Now, let's find the temperature in January:
January's average temperature = $\frac{5}{4}$ * December's average temperature
January's average temperature = $\frac{5}{4}$ * $-16 = -20\degree$ Fahrenheit
Therefore, the average temperature at the North Pole in January is $-20\degree$ Fahrenheit.
