Question

18. The drop in temperature from 6:00 AM to 12:00 P.M. was 14 "F. What is the average hourly drop in temperature for that time frame? I need help ASAP

Answer 1

First let's find the number of hours from 6AM to 12PM.

The difference of hours between these times is 6 hours, so the amount of hours is 6.

Then, to find the average hourly drop in temperature, we just need to divide the temperature change by the number of hours passed, so we have:

`(14)/(6)=(7)/(3)`

So the average hourly drop in temperature was 7/3 °F per hour.
