Question

The temperature in Anchorage, Alaska at 6 a.m. was 2°C. If the temperature drops 2 degrees each hour, what is the temperature in degrees Celsius at 2:00 pm

Answer 1

-14°C

Explanation:

6 + 8 = 14

So in 24 hour time that would be 2pm

From 6am to 2pm is 8 hours

If the degrees is going down by 2 you would times the 8 by 2 because it is doubled

That = 16

Then you'll minus 16°C from the 2°C

2°C - 16°C

= -14°C
