1/4 of 12 is 3. Because there are 4 threes in twelve. 12/4 is twelve divided by four, which is three.
Are you supposed to estimate or get an exact answer? If you're estimating you can see if the number is close to any perfect squares. In this case 63 is very close to 64, and 48 is very close to 49. The answers can then be estimated to be approximately 8 and 7, respectively.
Answer:
(a) 2 degree celsius per hour
(b) 3 degree celsius per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
(a) Avearge rate of rise in temperature per hour(T') = Rise in temperature(T)/Time required for the rise(t).
T' = T/t.................... Euqation 1
Rise in temperature (T) = 4 degree celsius, t = 10.00 am to noon = 2 hours.
Substitute into equation 1
T' = 4/2
T' = 2 degree celsius per hour.
(b) Also,
Average rate of fall in temperature per hour (T') = Fall in temperature (T)/Time(t)
T' = T/t
Given: T = 6 degree celsius, t = 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm = 2 hours
T' = 6/2
T' = 3 degree celsius per hour
