Mathematics

Explanation

This can be simplified as follows:

10 times a given quantity of _____ hundreds results in 60 hundreds
60 hundreds convert to _____ thousands

We will divide this into two segments:

$\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }$ ... Equation-1

$\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }$ ... Equation-2

This straightforward multiplication relates to the place value system. We need to perform calculations to find the values of N and M.

Initially, let's focus on Equation-1.

We will move the variable M to one side of the equation in order to isolate it and solve for its value.

$\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 1,000 \times N = 6,000 \ }$

Both parts will be divided by 1,000, essentially being multiplied by $\frac{1}{1,000}$ .

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times 1,000 \times N = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }$

Thus, we conclude with $\boxed{\boxed{ \ N = 6 \ }}$

Next, we process Equation-2 to derive M's value.

$\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 6,000 = M \times 1,000 \ }$

Rearranging this equation to place M on the left side appears as follows:

$\boxed{ \ M \times 1,000 = 6,000 \ }$

Again, both sides undergo division by 1,000, which translates to multiplication by $\frac{1}{1,000}.$ .

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times M \times 1,000 = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }$

This results in $\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}$

- - - - - - -

Alternative approach for the second step:

60 hundreds equals to __ thousands

$\boxed{ \ 6 \times 10 \ hundreds = \ M \ thousands} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 6 \times thousands = \ M \ thousands} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}$

20.7 degrees C
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest way to approach this is with a calculator or paper. (it's straightforward math) To begin, start with 19.4. Then, it increases by 3.8. Adding this to 19.4 results in 23.2, but then it decreases again by 2.5 degrees. Thus, from 23.2, subtract 2.5 to get 20.7 degrees.
