Question

The temperature is 71 °F at 2:00 in the afternoon. If the temperature drops 8 °F every hour after that, what is the temperature at 6:00 in the evening?

Answer 1

39 °F

Explanation:

There's 4 hours difference between given times so the change in the temperature would be 4 × 8 = 32° F if the temperature drops 8 °F every hour therefore the temperature would be 71 - 32 = 39 °F
