Question

The temperature fell 12 degrees over 4 hours. What was the average change in temperature per hour?

Answer 1

The average change is 3 degrees per hour.

To calculate the average of any data we have to divide the change by the time taken for that change.

let us suppose there is a data 4,5,6,7 and 8.

Average of the data will be the sum of data divided by the number of terms.

Average=$\frac{4+5+6+7+8}{5}$

            =$\frac{30}{5}$

            = 6

So now we will calculate the average change in temperature per hour,

Given that there is a fall of 12 degrees in 4 hours.

Average change per hour=$\frac{12}{4}$

                                        = 3 degrees per hour

So, the required change is 3 degrees per hour.
