Answer:

1.1°C

Explanation:

Assuming we are starting at midnight, we know that at midnight it is -1°C. We want to find the temperature at 7:00 AM. Or 7 hours later than midnight. The question says that every hour the temperature rises by 3/10°C. In 7 hours, we need to multiply 3/10*7=21/10=2.1 °C. So, it rises by 2.1 °C. Next add that to the -1 from midnight. Do 2.1+-1=1.1 °C.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

11/10°C

Explanation:

7 x 3/10 = 21/10

Temperature at midnight = -1°C

Temperature at 7.00 am = 21/10°C -1°C = 11/10°C
