Answer:

Total temperature change 104.25 f.

Explanation:

Average temperature change is calculated by dividing total temperature change by the total hours it took for the change.

We have been given the average temperature change.

We have to multiply average temperature change by the total number of hours it took for the temperature to change we get the total temperature change.

⇒ Total temperature change = Average temperature change * total hours

=
-4.17*25

=104.25 f
