Answer 1

Answer:

Hourly rate of temperature is $-5\° F$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Temperature dropped from 1pm-7pm = -30 F

Number of hours = 6

Also Given:

Temperature change every hour was the same.

We need to find the hourly rate of change.

Solution:

Now we know that;

In 6 hours = -30 F temperature changed

So in 1 hour = temperature changed in 1 hour.

By using Unitary method we get;

temperature changed in 1 hour = $\frac{-30}{6}=-5\° F$

Hence Hourly rate of temperature is $-5\° F$.
