Question

On a certain day, the temperature changed at a rate of -30°F per hour. What would be the temperature in 11 hours?

a) -330°F
b) -150°F
c) -360°F
d) -3300°F

Answer 1

The temperature would change by -330°F after 11 hours at a rate of -30°F per hour. The correct answer is (a) -330°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature changes at a rate of -30°F per hour, to find the temperature after 11 hours, we can multiply the hourly rate of change by the number of hours:

• (Hourly rate of change) x (Number of hours) = Total change in temperature
• (-30°F/hour) x 11 hours = -330°F

Therefore, the temperature would change by -330°F after 11 hours. The correct answer to the question is (a) -330°F.
