› The temperature at the bottom of a mountain is 16.2°F warmer than at the top. The temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 48°F. What is the temperature at the top of the mountain?

Let the the temperat

ure at the top of the mountain be T.

According to the problem, the temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 16.2°F warmer than at the top.

So, the temperature at the bottom of the mountain can be represented as T + 16.2°F.

We are also given that the temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 48°F.

Therefore, we have the equation:

T + 16.2°F = 48°F

To solve for T, we need to isolate T on one side of the equation.

Subtracting 16.2°F from both sides of the equation gives us:

T + 16.2°F - 16.2°F = 48°F - 16.2°F

Simplifying the equation gives us:

T = 31.8°F

So, the temperature at the top of the mountain is 31.8°F.
