Question

Your grandmother is worried about the heat during the family reunion picnic yesterday between 10 am and noon the temperature rose 6 degrees then between noon and 3pm it rose 4 degrees what was the average rate of increase in temperature between 10am and 3pm

Answer 1

Answer:

Average rate of temperature increase is 2 degrees per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the average rate of increase in temperature

From what we have above, we can calculate this by dividing the total temperature rise by the number of hours

The total temperature rise is 6 + 4 = 10 degrees

This means that the temperature rose by 10 degrees between 10 am and 3 pm

The number of hours between 10 am and 3 pm is 5 hours

So the average rate of temperature increase is 10 degrees/ 5 hours = 2 degree per hour
