Question

The chart below shows the change in the temperature. John says the temperature at 6:00 p.M. Will be about 75º F because the temperature has been dropping one or two degrees every ten minutes. Fred says the temperature at 6:00 p.M. Will be about 72º F because the temperature has been dropping one or two degrees every ten minutes. Who has drawn the best conclusion, John or Fred?

Answer 1

Answer: Hello the chart related to your question is missing but I can provide a general answer based on the scope of your question

answer : Based on the assumptions and calculations below, John has drawn the best conclusion

Explanation:

Given condition : Temperature drops one ( 1 ) or two(2) degrees every Ten minutes

i.e. For every 1 hour the temperature will drop by either : 6°F or 12°F

Assuming :  Current Temp = 80°F , Current Time = 5 pm

hence Temperature  at 6 pm = ( 80 - 6  ) or ( 80 - 12 )

                                                =   74°F or  68°F

From the above we can conclude that John has drawn the best conclusion
