Answer 1

Thanks

this help a lot

Answer 2

The average change in temperature per hour was -8°F.

Explanation:

Using the equation 48-(-16) we know that the temperature dropped by 64°F.


`48-(-16)=64`

We now know that the temperature dropped by 64°F in a period of 8 hours. Using the equation -64/8 we can find the average change in temperature per hour.


`(-64)/(8) = -8`

Therefore, the average change in temperature per hour was -8°F.
