Answer:

The temperature at 11:00 a.m. is 14 °F

Explanation:

Let us list the information in the question

→ The temperature at 7:00 a.m. is - 7 °F

→ The temperature increases 21 °F during 4 hours

→ We need to find the temperature at 11:00 a.m.

∵ The temperature increases 21 °F during 4 hours

∵ The time 4 hours after 7: 00 a.m. is 11:00 a.m.

→ That means add 21 °F to - 7 °F to find the temperature at 11:00 a.m.

∴ The temperature at 11:00 a.m. = -7 °F + 21 °F

∴ The temperature at 11:00 a.m. = 14 °F

The temperature at 11:00 a.m. is 14 °F
