Question

After reaching a high temperature of 25°C at 2:00 P.M., the temperature drops at a rate of 2°C per hour. What is the temperature at 5:00 P.M.?

Answer 1

The temperature at 5:00 PM would be 19*C.

Explanation:

First, subtract the original time from the new time:

5 - 2 = 3

Find the amount of C that would go down in 3 hours:

3 * 2 = 6

Subtract the 6 C from the original temperature of 25 C:

25 - 6 = 19

Answer 2

19 degrees C

5-2

3*2

25-6
