Question

The temperature in Australia one morning was -5°C at 08:00 and increased by 2°C every hour until 12:00. What will the temperature be at 11:00

Answer 1

3*C

Explanation:

We can Frame an equation, taking the previous temperature as "x" and adding 2 by every hour.

Previous Temprature + 2 = New Temprature

Therefore by this equation:

at 8AM , the Temperature is -5 + 2 = -3*c
at 9AM , the Temperature is -3 + 2 = -1*c
at 10 AM, the Temperature is -1 + 2 = 1*c


Therefore at 11AM , the Temperature will be 1 + 2 = 3*c

Hope it helps.
