Answer:

10°f

Explanation:

  • The outside temperature decreases by 7*f in 3 1/2 hours. If the temperature continues to decrease at this rate what will be the Change in temperature after 5 hours

we can simply solve with a proportion

3 1/2 hours = 3.5 hours

7 : 3.5 = x : 5

x = 7 x 5 : 3.5

x = 35 : 3.5

x = 10

--------------------

check

7 : 3.5 = 10 : 5

2 = 2

same value the answer is good
