Question

At noon the temperature was 10 degrees.The temperature dropped 2 degrees every hour for the next 12 hours what was the temperature at midnight after those 12 hours

Answer 1

Therefore,

The temperature at midnight after those 12 hours,

`Temperature = -14\°`

Explanation:

Given:

At noon the temperature was 10 degrees,

After every hour the temperature dropped 2 degrees for the next 12 hours,

Therefore,

For one hour, Temperature dropped 2 degrees

For 12 hour, Temperature dropped = 2 × 12 = 24 degrees

Initial Temperature = 10°

So, Temperature after 12 hour at midnight,

`Final\ Temperature = 10-24 = -14\°`

Therefore,

The temperature at midnight after those 12 hours,

`Temperature = -14\°`
