Answer:
2.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Temperature in Neil's city :
72.6° and rising by 1.3° per hour
Temperature in Sheppard's city :
80.4° and dropping by 1.82° per hour
In how many hours will the temperature in Neil's city be no less than the temperature in Sheppard's city
Let number of hours = h
Hence, Neil city :
72.6 + 1.3h
Sheppard city:
80.4 - 1.82h
72.6 + 1.3h ≥ 80.4 - 1.82h
1.3h + 1.82h ≥ 80.4 - 72.6
3.12h ≥ 7.8
h ≥ 2.5
Two and half hours (2 hours 30 minutes)
