A weather station on the top of a mountain reports that the temperature is currently 14°C and has been falling at a constant rate of 9°C per hour. If it continues to fall at this rate, find each indicated temperature. What will the temperature be in 2 hours? What will the temperature be in 5 hours? What will the temperature be in half an hour?

Answer: 2 hours=6 degrees C

5 hours=-31 degrees C

Half an hour=9.5 degrees C

I hope this helps. Sorry if I made a mistake. Good luck!

Explanation:

9 x 2 hours = 18 C 14-8= 6 degrees C

9 x 5 hours = 45 C 14-45= -31 degrees C

9 x 0.5 = 4.5 C 14-4.5= 9.5 degrees C
