Answer 2

In order to find the average change in temperature, then you find the change in temperature each day and divide it by the amount of days.

Answer 3

So if we call the change in temperature from day 1 to day 2 x and the change from day 2 to day 3 y, and the change from day 3 to day 4 z. Then you could make an expression:\[\frac{ x+y+z }{ 3 }\]
