Best way to do multiple choice is to work out answers and choose.

Answer 10

Assuming the question asks "6 times colder..." means "6 times the temperature of...",
then we multiply the temperature of Detroit (-4) by 6.
From the answer, you choose the correct answer.
Do not forget to read the hint above regarding the sign of a product (of multiplication).

Answer 11

So, (-4)*6 is -24, rite?

Answer 12

Right, well done!

Answer 13

So, would –24°F be my final answer, or are there more steps to this problem?

Answer 14

Yes, the last step which \(you\) have to do is to translate the answer to a letter and tell the computer your answer!

Oh okie!
