0.8°

Explanation:

Unit rates let us find change over time.

Unit Rate

A unit rate is a fraction or another form of rate with a denominator of 1. This means the rate is given per 1 unit. For example, the rate for this question is in degrees/ hours. So, the unit rate will be x degrees per 1 hour. The unit rate is the way of expressing how the temperature changes over time.

Finding Change in Temperature

We know that the temperature increases by 4.8 degrees in 6 hours. So, to find the change in temperature in one hour, divide by 6. This will give the rate per one hour, aka the unit rate.

• 4.8/6 = 0.8

This means that the temperature is increasing by 0.8 degrees per hour.
