Ken, a meteorologist, is predicting next year’s temperatures in New York City.

Question

He predicts that, in August, the average low temperature will be 20°C, and that the temperature will drop by 4°C in September.

Answer 1

Based on Ken's predictions, if the average low temperature in New York City for August is expected to be 20°C, and the temperature is projected to drop by 4°C in September, we can calculate the expected average low temperature for September as follows:

Average low temperature in August: 20°C
Temperature drop in September: -4°C

Average low temperature in September = 20°C - 4°C = 16°C

So, Ken predicts that the average low temperature in New York City will be 16°C in September.
