Question

The temperature is 92 degrees. The temperature decreases for 5 hours. Each hour, the temperature decreases by 2 degrees. What is the temperature after 5 hours?

Help please!!!!

Answer 1

The answer would be 82 degrees.

Because:
You start at 92°
Every hour you lose 2 degrees for 5 hours
5x2=10
92°-10°= 82 degrees

Answer 2

82

Explanation:

multiply 5 x 2 and you get ten, that is the total decrease over five hours. Subtract ten from 92 and you get 82.
