Answer: 2 Fahrenheit per hour

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that the outside temperature decreases by 7 fahrenheit in 3 1/2 hours.

The temperature change as a unit rate will then be calculated as:

= 7 ÷ 3 1/2

= 7 ÷ 7/2

= 7 × 2/7

= 2 Fahrenheit per hour

It Decrease at 2 Fahrenheit per hour
