This afternoon, Vivek noticed that the temperature was above zero when the temperature was 17 5/8 degrees. Its evening now, and the temperature is -8 1/2 degrees. What does this mean?

The temperature droped from 17 5/8° C to - 8 1/2° C = 26 1/8° C, simply add the 2 mixed fractions together and you'll get the temperture change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to a mixed number:

209/8

Divide 209 by 8:

8 | 2 | 0 | 9

8 goes into 20 at most 2 times:

| | 2 | |  

8 | 2 | 0 | 9 |  

- | 1 | 6 | |  

| | 4 | 9 |  

8 goes into 49 at most 6 times:

| | 2 | 6 |  

8 | 2 | 0 | 9 |  

- | 1 | 6 | |  

| | 4 | 9 |  

| - | 4 | 8 |  

| | | 1 |  

Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:

| | 2 | 6 | (quotient)

8 | 2 | 0 | 9 |  

- | 1 | 6 | |  

| | 4 | 9 |  

| - | 4 | 8 |  

| | | 1 | (remainder)

The quotient of 209/8 is 26 with remainder 1, so:

26 1/8° C
