Question

The temperature at 6:00 a.m. was -12°F. The temperature increased by 1/2°F each hr for 6 hrs. What was the temperature, in degrees Fanrenheit at noon?

Answer 1

-9°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature at 6:00 a.m. = -12°F

The temperature increases by 1/2°F each hr.

Therefore, for 6 hours, we have an increase in temperature:

`6*(1)/(2)=3\degree F`

Thus, the temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit at noon will be:

`\begin{gathered} =-12\degree F+3\degree F \\ =-9\degree F \end{gathered}`
