Given the statement:
The temperature at 6:00 p.m. was 15 degrees Celsius. The temperature dropped 2 degrees Celsius per hour.
Determine the temperature at 4:00 A.M.
Solution:
In order to determine the temperature at 4:00, We simply need to multiply 2 degrees first by 10, since 6:00pm to 4:00 am is 10 hours, then we subtract the product to the15 degrees celcius.
= (2)(10)
= 20 Degrees Celcius
=14 Degrees Celcius - 20 Degrees Celcius
= -6 Degrees Celcius
Final answer:
= -6 Degrees Celcius
