    b. winter wear, appropriate for around 20-45°F

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When it is 6:00 hours in Honolulu, it is 15:00 hours in London, this means that there are 15 - 6 = 9 hours of difference.

    Paul got into London at 12:00 p. m, that is, at 12 - 9 = 3:00 p. m. Friday Honolulu time. Paul's flight left Honolulu at 2:00 p. m. Thursday, so he spent 25 hours flighting.

    When the flight started, the temperature in London was 30 °C, after 25 hours the temperature dropped 25 °C, so it was 30 - 25 = 5 °C.

    To convert from °C to °F, we use the following formula:

    (x °C * 9/5) + 32 = y °F

    Replacing with x = 5

    (5 °C * 9/5) + 32 = 41 °F
