Question

The temperature dropped 5 degrees every hour during 8 hours. How much the temperature drop in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature dropped 5 degrees every hour, this can be expressed as;

5 degree = 1 hour

To get the total number of degree dropped fro 8hours, we will say;

x degree = 8hours where x is the temperature drop in all

Solving both equality

5 degree = 1 hour

x degree = 8 hours

cross multiply

x * 1 = 5 * 8

x = 40 degrees

Hence the total temperature drop in all is 40°
