From midnight to 6:00 am, the temperature rose 1.05°C each hour. If the temperature at 6:00 am was -5.7°C, what was the temperature at midnight?

Answer:

13.2 C

Explanation:

6am the temp is at -5.7

from 6am to 12pm is 18 hours apart

so if the temp rises at 1.05 every hour you multiply 1.05*18= 18.9

18.9-5.7=13.2
