The temperature dropped 12 degrees Celsius from 10pm to 4am one night. What is the average drop of the temperature
12 divided by 5 = ____
10 pm to 4 am = 6 hours
12 / 6 = ? degrees per hour
One day the temperature fell from 13 f to —12 f. How large a drop in temperature was this?
To calculate the average drop in temperature, you need to divide the total drop in temperature by the number of hours. In this case, the temperature dropped 12 degrees Celsius over a period of 6 hours (from 10pm to 4am).
To calculate the average drop, you divide the total drop (12 degrees Celsius) by the number of hours (6).
So, 12 divided by 6 equals 2 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, the average drop in temperature during this period is 2 degrees Celsius per hour.
