Tim tracked the change in outside temperature one afternoon. He recorded a temperature of 85.4 F at noon. The temperature then rose 3.85 F over the next 4 hours. At 5:00 PM Tim recorded a temperature of 89.25 F. How did the temperatue change between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm

Answer 1

The temperature did not change between 4 and 5

Answer 2

From 4pm to 5pm the temperature dropped 11.55 degrees

noon 85.4 + 3.85 = 89.25
1st hr 89.25 + 3.85 = 93.1
2nd hr 93.1 + 3.85 = 96.95
3rd hr 96.95 + 3.85 = 100.8
4th hr 100.8 ??
5 pm 89.25

100.8-89.25= 11.55
