Question

If hurricane eric changed the temperature by -11 in 4 hours, how much did it change each hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it change x° each hour.

It has been given that hurricane Eric changed the temperature by -11 in 4 hours.

So, we have the below equation

$\frac{-11}{4}=\frac{x}{1}$

Solve the equation for x. Cross multiplying

$4x=-11$

Divide both sides by 4

$x=-\frac{11}{4}\\\\x=-2.75$

d is the correct answer.
