Answer:

Unit rate of change = -4.2°F/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a constant rate of change, a relationship between the change of temperature as a function of time (in hours) can be described as follows:

r= \frac{(36^oF - 57^o F)}{17 - 12}\\r= \frac{-4.2^o F}{hour}

There is a temperature drop from 12pm to 5pm, which explains the rate of change being negative. This rate means that at every hour that goes by, the temperature drops by 4.2 degrees.

You can run 5 miles in 25 minutes. At this rate, how many miles can you run in 3 hours
kotegsom [21]
Well, if you run 5 miles in 25 minute you run a mile every 5 minutes. So, there is 190 minutes in 3 hours. So we would need to divide 190 by 5 which is 38. So, the person could run 38 miles in 3 hours.

24=3x-16-8x thank you, sorry not to good at math
antiseptic1488 [7]
First, simplify the equation 3X-8X is -5X. So 24=16+-5X. Then subtract 16 from both sides. So you get 8=-5X. Then divide by -5.
So X= -8/5
