Question

The tempature is changing every day by -3/16 degree fahrenhiet. What will be the change in the tempature after 4 days

Answer 1

-3/4 degree Fahrenheit

Explanation:

If the tempature is changing every day by -3/16 degree fahrenhiet, the change in the tempature after 4 days is -3/4 degree Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

-3/4 degree Fahrenheit

Explanation:

The temperature is decreasing by 3/16 each day

We write that as -3/16

There are 4 days in which we are measuring

Total temperature change = rate of change* number of days

=-3/16 * 4

= -12/16

We can simplify this by dividing the top and bottom by 4

-12/4 =3

16/4 =4

=12/16 = -3/4
