1. Calculate how many hours passed between her temperature checks. 8 p.m to 8 a.m. is 12 hours.
2. Calculate the total change in temperature. 36 - 54 is -18, so the temperature went down by 18 degrees.
3. We are looking for degrees per hour, so we put derees(18) over hours (12) to get 18/12.
4. Calculate by dividing. The answer is 1.5 degrees per hour.
Zero is the opposite of it self because nothing can goes into zero. Zero can never be lower them a negative number order than a positive number.
