Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. The average temperature of the city for the first four days was 36°. This means the total temperature for these four days was 4 * 36 = 144°.

  2. The average temperature for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th day was 38°. This means the total temperature for these four days was 4 * 38 = 152°.

  3. If we subtract the total temperature of the first four days from the total temperature of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th day, we get the temperature of the 5th day. So, the temperature on the 5th day was 152° - 144° = 8°.

  4. However, we know that the temperatures of the 1st and 5th days were in the ratio 4:5. This means the temperature on the 5th day is 5/4 times the temperature on the 1st day.

  5. Let's denote the temperature on the 1st day as x. Then the temperature on the 5th day is 5x/4.

  6. We know that the temperature on the 5th day is 8°, so we can set up the equation 5x/4 = 8.

  7. Solving this equation for x gives us x = 8 * 4/5 = 6.4°. This is the temperature on the 1st day.

  8. Now, we can find the temperature on the 5th day by multiplying the temperature on the 1st day by the ratio 5/4: 6.4° * 5/4 = 8°.

So, the temperature on the fifth day is 8°.
