let say High 12 ( which can be divisible easily by 3 and 2 )

so Low 1/2 HIGH is 6 and 1/3 more than 6 is 6+1/3 (6) 8

so total is 20.

now use 20 total low is 8 then 100 total low is ?

will get 40.

Let highest temp be x

so low temp 1/3 of x of 1/2 of x plus x/2 i.e. x/6+x/2

total temp x+x/6+x/2 100

therefore x 60

Lowest temp is 40
