The temperature dropped 18 degrees Fahrenheit in 6 hours last night. The equation below can be used to find n, the average number of degrees the temperature changed each hour during that period.
-18/6 = n
What was the average rate of change per hour last night
every thinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
-18/6 means divide -18 by 6
so -3
Yes, -3 degrees per hour
To find the average rate of change per hour last night, we can use the equation:
Average rate of change per hour = Total change in temperature ÷ Total time
In this case, the total change in temperature is given as -18 degrees Fahrenheit, and the total time is given as 6 hours. So, we can substitute these values into the equation:
Average rate of change per hour = -18 ÷ 6
By dividing -18 by 6, we get:
Average rate of change per hour = -3 degrees Fahrenheit per hour
Therefore, the average rate of change per hour last night was -3 degrees Fahrenheit.
