Question

The temperature was 15°F when you woke up. It went down 2 degrees each hour for the next 5 hours. What was the final temperature?

Answer 1

The temperature started at 15 then dropped 2 degrees every hour for 5 hours.
X=15-5(2)
X=15-10
X=5

Answer 2

Answer:
`5^(\circ)\ F`

Explanation:

Given: When you woke, the temperature was =
`15^(\circ)\ F`

Since, the temperature went down
`2^(\circ)\ F` each hour.

Therefore, the total temperature went down after 5 hours will be :-

`5*2^(\circ)\ F=10^(\circ)\ F`

Thus, the final temperature will be :-

`15^(\circ)\ F-10^(\circ)\ F=5^(\circ)\ F`

Hence, the final temperature will be
`5^(\circ)\ F`.
