In 5 hours, the temperature steadily fell from 0°F to -25°F. What was the average change in temperature per hour?

  • Initial temperature=0°F
  • Final temperature=-25°F
  • Time=5h


{\boxed{\sf T_(avg)=(\Delta T)/(\Delta t)}}


\\ \sf\longmapsto T_(Avg)=(0-(-25))/(5)


\\ \sf\longmapsto T_(Avg)=(25)/(5)


\\ \sf\longmapsto T_(Avg)=5°F/h
