Answer:
40 degrees
Explanation:
If the temperature dropped 5 degrees every hour, this can be expressed as;
5 degree = 1 hour
To get the total number of degree dropped fro 8hours, we will say;
x degree = 8hours where x is the temperature drop in all
Solving both equality
5 degree = 1 hour
x degree = 8 hours
cross multiply
x * 1 = 5 * 8
x = 40 degrees
Hence the total temperature drop in all is 40°
