Answer:

The overall change in temperature over the time period ∆T = -12.6°F

Explanation:

Rate of change of temperature r = -2.8°F per hour

Time t = 4.5 hours

The overall change in temperature ∆T = Rate of change of temperature × time period

∆T = r × t

∆T = -2.8°F per hour × 4.5 hours

∆T = -12.6°F

The overall change in temperature over the time period is -12.6°F
