Question

The temperature at midnight is shown. The outside temperature decreases 2.3 C over the next two hours. What is the outside temperature at 2 A.M. ?

Answer 1

Outside temperature at 2 A.M = -33.2°C

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature at 12:00 midnight (outside) = -30.9°C

Rate of decreases = - 2.3°C per two hour

Find:

Outside temperature at 2 A.M

Computation:

Outside temperature at 2 A.M = Temperature at 12:00 midnight (outside) + Rate of decreases

Outside temperature at 2 A.M = -30.9°C + (- 2.3°C)

Outside temperature at 2 A.M = -33.2°C
