For the month of January, the average afternoon temperature in Calgard is 1/4 the average morning temperature. The average afternoon temperature is

-4 C. What is the average morning temperature?
a.) If m represents the average morning temperature, what equation models this problem?
b.) Solve the equation. Verify your answer.

AT=1/4 MT

-4C=1/4 MT
MTemp= -16C check my reasoning.

a.) The equation that models this problem can be represented as follows:

m = 4 * (-4)

b.) To solve the equation, we need to substitute the value of the average afternoon temperature, which is -4 C, into the equation and perform the calculation.

m = 4 * (-4)
m = -16

Therefore, the average morning temperature in Calgard is -16 degrees Celsius.

To verify this answer, we can substitute the value of m into the equation and check if it satisfies the given condition.

(-4) = 4 * (-16)
-4 = -64

Since -4 is equal to -64, the answer is verified to be correct.
