Foundation November 2023 Paper 2 Q7
7. The graph below shows the average maximum daily temperature (°C) and the average monthly rainfall (mm) in Greece.
(a)
(i) Which month has the highest rainfall? [1]
(ii) Calculate the difference in average maximum daily temperature between the warmest month and the coolest month. [2]
(iii)
Courtney wants to go on holiday to Greece.
She does not want the average maximum daily temperature to be over 30°C and hopes for as little rain as possible.
Which month would be the most suitable for Courtney to go to Greece? [1]
(b)
The formula shown below can be used to convert between temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit (F) and temperatures in degrees Celsius (C).
F = 1·8C + 32
On a particular day in Greece, the temperature was 25°C.
Use the formula to convert this temperature to degrees Fahrenheit (F). [2]
