Answer:

A) 2f / hour

Explanation:

B) 10 f

Explanation:

outside temperature decreases by ; 7 F in 3 1/2 hours

a ) represent temperature change as a unit rate

To do this you will need to represent the temperature change per hour

7 f / 3.5 hours

= 7 f / 3.5 = 2 therefore the temperature change as a unit rate = 2f / hour

b) Temperature change after 5 hours

Δ temperature in 5 hours = temperature change per hour * 5

= 2 F * 5 = 10 F
