1. The problem states that the average temperature of Temuco, Chile in July is $7\degree \text{C}$. We need to determine which statements about this temperature relative to $0\degree \text{C}$ are true. 2. Let's analyze each statement: - Statement A: "The average temperature of Temuco, Chile in July is $\lvert7\rvert$ degrees below $0\degree \text{C}$." - The absolute value $\lvert7\rvert = 7$. - "Below $0\degree \text{C}$" means a negative temperature, but the average temperature is $7\degree \text{C}$, which is positive. - Therefore, this statement is false. - Statement B: "The average temperature of Temuco, Chile in July is $7$ degrees below $0\degree \text{C}$." - "Below $0\degree \text{C}$" means the temperature should be negative. - The average temperature is $7\degree \text{C}$, which is positive. - Therefore, this statement is false. - Statement C: "The average temperature of Temuco, Chile in July is $7$ degrees above $0\degree \text{C}$." - "Above $0\degree \text{C}$" means positive temperature. - The average temperature is $7\degree \text{C}$, which is positive. - Therefore, this statement is true. 3. Final conclusion: Only statement C is true.
