PLANNING FORECAST 2 2 2 2 FRI SAT SUN MON TUE WED THU The local weatherman was recently asked if he could recall the seven day forecast from memory. He replied that he could not remember the exact forecast, but that he remembered that each day had a different temperature and that the product of the temperatures was 180. What are the seven temperatures in the forecast? Assume that the individual daily temperatures are rounded to the ones place: for example 23.56 degrees would be rounded to 24 degrees.

Explanation / Answer

Each day had a different temperature and product of the temperatures are 180.so let's factorize 180.

180=2*2*3*3*5*1

Now each day the temperature should be different

So one can write 180 as

180=(-2)*(2)*(3)*(-3)*(5)*(1)

Still there are 6 values and 1 more value is required.

180=(-2)*(2)*(3)*(-3/4)*(4)*(5)*(1)

Now -0.75 can be written as (-1) as per the given approximation

So the temperatures can be -1,-2,1,2,3,4,5 (provided approximations are applied).

180

So different temperatures can be
