ANSWER

5°F/hr

Step-by-step explanation

At 3 a.m., the temperature was -13°F and at 10 a.m., the temperature was 22°F.

To find the average change in temperature per hour, we first have to find the number of hours between 3 a.m. ad 10 a.m.

There are 7 hours between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m.

Then, find the change in temperature by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature:


\begin{gathered} \mleft\lbrace22-(-13)\}\degree F\mright? \\ \mleft\lbrace22+13\}\degree F\mright? \\ 35\degree F \end{gathered}

Finally, find the average change in temperature per hour by dividing the change in temperature by the number of hours:


\begin{gathered} \text{Average Change per hour = }(35)/(7) \\ \text{ACph}=5\degree F\text{/hr} \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
