Question

In 8 days, the temperature dropped 12 degrees. If the temperature changed at the same rate for all the days what was the change in temperature per day?

Answer 1

1.5° per day

Explanation:

Given that :

Total temperature change = drop by 12°

Number of days for the change = 8 days

Rate at which temperature changed is constant

Change in temperature per day :

Total change in temperature / number of days

12° / 8

= 1.5° per day
