Question

The temperature drops 2.5°F each hour. At noon it was -27.5°F. What was itat 1 pm? Write as an integer *

Answer 1

`\text{The temperature at 1 pm is -30}\degree F`

Here, we are told that the temperature drops at a certain rate

What this mean in this context is that it becomes colder as the hours roll by

The difference between 12 noon and 1 pm is just 1 hour

So the temperature after the drop in just one hour will be;

`-27.5\degree F\text{ - }2.5\degree F\text{ = -30}\degree F`
