Answer: 32 2/19°F
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the temperature was 52° and dropped to 38°, the difference will be:
= 52° - 38°
= 14°
Therefore, 14° was dropped in 4¾ hours. Therefore, the temperature dropped pee hour will be:
= 14/4¾
= 14 / 19/4
= 14 × 4/19
= 56/19
= 2 18/19° per hour.
In 2 hours, the temperature dropped will be:
= 2 18/19° × 2
= 5 17/19°
With the above explanation, the temperature after 2 hours will then be:
= 38° - 5 17/19°
= 32 2/19°F
The temperature will be 32 2/19°F.
