Question

the temperature dropped an average of 6 degrees per hour what integer would represent the change tampmperature from 10:00 to 2:08 p.m

Answer 1

number of hours between 10 p.m. and 2:08 p.m.:

10:00 p.m. to midnight (12:00 a.m.) there are 2 hours.

midnight to 2:00 p.m. there are 14 hours.

2:00 p.m. to 2:08 p.m. there are 8 minutes converted to hours, which is 8/60 hours.

The total hours are therefore: 2 + 14 + 8/60 ≈ 16.1333 hours.

decrease of 6° per hour

drop after 16.133h: 16.133*6=96.798 or 97°
