Question

From midnight to 2:00 am, the temperature dropped 1.15°C each hour. If the temperature at 2:00 am was 3.7°C, what was the temperature at midnight?

Answer 1

6 degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The temperature at 2am was 3.7 degrees C.

Since the temp dropped 1.15 degrees each hour, at 1am the temp was 3.7+1.15 = 4.85 degrees

So at midnight, 12am, the temp was 4.85+1.15 = 6 degrees Celsius
