Answer:

The temperature changed by 8 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question you are told that the temperature rises 2 degrees per hour. This can be expressed as;

2 degrees = 1 hour

We are to find the change in temperature after 5 hours, this is expressed as:

x = 5 hours

Divide both expressions

2/x = 1/5

x = 2 * 5

x = 10 hours

The temperature change = Final temp - Initial temp

Temperature change = 10 - 2 = 8 degrees

Hence the temperature changed by 8 degrees .
