Waldnice! 8. I have a maximum/minimum thermometer in my greenhouse. It records the highest and
lowest temperatures reached since the time I reset it. I reset it on Sunday when the
temperature was 4°C. Overnight the temperature fell by 5°C. Then during Monday it rose by
6°C. before falling by 10°C during the night. On Tuesday it rose by 4°C and fell by 2°C
overnight.
What were the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded when I looked at the
thermometer on Wednesday morning?

The maximum and minimum temperatures recorded by the thermometer when checked by Wednesday morning are 5°C and -5°C

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

A maximum and minimum thermometer is used which records maximum and minimum values as follows;

Initial temperature on Sunday at the time of resetting the thermometer = 4°C

Temperature drop overnight = 5°C, new low = 4 - 5 =  -1°C,

Temperature rise on Monday = 6°C. New high = -1 + 6 = 5°C

Temperature drop on Monday night = 10°C. New low = 5 - 10 = -5°C

Temperature rise on Tuesday = 4°C = New high = 4 + - 5 = -1°C

Temperature drop on Tuesday night = 2°C. New low = -1 - 2 = -3°C

Therefore, the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded by the thermometer when checked by Wednesday morning are 5°C and -5°C.
