Question
Nora tracked variations in temperature for five days to show how much above or below average the actual temperature was.
A 5-column table with 1 row titled Degrees Above/Below Average (Fahrenheit). Column 1 is labeled Monday with entry 2.2. Column 2 is labeled Tuesday with entry negative one-half. Column 3 is labeled Wednesday with entry negative 1 and one-half. Column 4 is labeled Thursday with entry negative 0.9. Column 5 is labeled Friday with entry 1. A number line going from negative 3 to positive 3.
Graph the data on the number line.
On which day was the temperature the farthest below average?

To graph the data on the number line:
1. First, we convert the temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday into decimal form for easier plotting:
- Tuesday: -1/2 = -0.5
- Wednesday: -1.5 (same as written)
- Thursday: -0.9 (same as written)
2. Now we have the following list of values:
- Monday: 2.2
- Tuesday: -0.5
- Wednesday: -1.5
- Thursday: -0.9
- Friday: 1
3. Next, we can plot these temperatures on the number line ranging from -3 to +3:
- **Monday (2.2)**: Place a point slightly less than 2.5, between 2 and 3.
- **Tuesday (-0.5)**: Place a point between -1 and 0.
- **Wednesday (-1.5)**: Place a point halfway between -1 and -2.
- **Thursday (-0.9)**: Place a point slightly less than -0.5, between -1 and 0.
- **Friday (1)**: Place a point slightly less than 1.5, between 1 and 2.
4. Once plotted on the number line, you can see the relative positions of the points.
To answer the second part of the question:
- **On which day was the temperature the farthest below average?**
- Looking at the values:
- Tuesday: -0.5
- Wednesday: -1.5
- Thursday: -0.9
The temperature was the farthest below average on **Wednesday**, with a temperature of -1.5 degrees.
