I believe there is a corresponding figure to help answer this problem. See attached photo.
From the figure, we can see that there are 8 tick marks in an inch. The number of tick marks covering one side is about 5.5 tick marks. Therefore:
length = 5.5 tick marks * (1 inch / 8 tick marks)
length = 0.69 inches
Answer:
degrees Fahrenheit
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be temperature.
at 3:00PM:
degrees.
Every hour, the temperature falls by degrees per hour for the next four hours. Let's multiply 2.5 by 4 to find out the total temperature drop in four hours.
In four hours, the temperature dropped 10 degrees. Since it is getting colder, let's subtract this from the original 5.5 degrees to get the temperature at 7:00PM.
The temperature at 7:00PM was -4.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
