Question

The temperature was 54° at 7:00am. At 3:00pm on the same day, the temperature

was 82°. What is the rate of change in temperature during this time? Hint: When
finding the difference in time, don't forget that 3:00pm could also be written as
15:00 (to figure out the difference in hours).
a) 3.25° per hour
b) 3.1° per hour
c) 2.8° per hour
d) 3.5° per hour

Answer 1

3.5

Explanation:

what you would do is from 7am to 3pm its 8 hours. then you would do 82 degrees - 54 degrees and you would get 28 degrees. ok then you would do 28 degrees divided by the 8 hours and you would get 3.5 degrees per hour.

hope this helps.
