Answer: 32 2/19°
Explanation:
The decrease in temperature per hour will be calculated thus:
= (52 - 38) / 4¾
= 14°/4¾
= 2 18/19° per hour.
If the temperature continues to drop at the same rate, then the temperature after 2 hours will be:
= 38° - (2 18/19 × 2 hours)
= 38° - 5 17/19°
= 32 2/19°
Therefore, the temperature after 2 hours will be 32 2/19°.
