Question

Andres conducted a scientific experiment. For a certain time, thetemperature of a compound rose 21 degrees every 13 hours. Whatwas the rate, in degrees per hour, that the temperature of thecompound rose? Enter your answer as a whole number, properfraction, or mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

Given:

The temperature of a compound rose is 21 degrees every 13 hours.

Required:

Find the rate, in degrees per hour, that the temperature of the compound rose.

Write the answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number in simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the temperature of a compound rose is 21 degrees every 13 hours.

So the rate of the temperature

`\begin{gathered} =(21)/(13) \\ =1(8)/(13) \\ =1.615384 \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

The rate of the temperature is

`(21)/(13)=1(8)/(13)=1.615384`
