Question

Task 5: A weather station on the top of a mountain reports that the temperature is currently 0°C and has been falling at a constant rate of 3°C per hour. If it continues to fall at this rate, find each indicated temperature. What will the temperature be in 2 hours? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find answer,

We multiply 2 hours by the decrease, which is 3 degrees.

2*3=6 degrees

Now this means it will decrease 6 degrees in 2 hours, and starting from the start we do

0-6= -6 degrees in 2 hours

For five hours, we do

5*3=15

Now do the same

0-15= -15 degrees
