Answer 1

Answer:

A cold front moved in last weekend.The average temperature change for each hour is 4.14 degrees per hour.

Solution:

Given that a cold front moved in last weekend. In 7 hours overnight, the temperate outside dropped 29 degrees

We have to find the average temperature change for each hour.

Average temperature change for 1 hour can be found out by dividing the temperature change for 7 hours (which is 29 degree) by 7 hours.

To compute the average, we need to divide the difference by the time needed, hence we get

Average temperature change for each hour = $\frac{\text {temperature change for } 7 \text { hours }}{7}$

$\frac{29}{7}=4.14$

So, the average temperature dropping is 4.14 degrees per hour.
