Answer 1

Answer: -9 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Temperature at 6:00 AM = -12 degrees Fahrenheit

Temperature increased each hour = $\dfrac12$ degrees Fahrenheit

Temperature increase in 6 hours = $6\times\dfrac12=3\text{ degrees Fahrenheit}$

Temperature at noon = Temperature at 6:00 AM+Temperature increase in 6 hours

= -12+3 degrees Fahrenheit

= -9 degrees Fahrenheit

Hence, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at noon= -9 degrees Fahrenheit
