The temperature dropped by 2 degrees an hour during the night. At midnight the temperature was 31 degrees. What was the temperature at 6a.m.
To determine the temperature at 6a.m., we need to calculate the number of hours that have passed since midnight and multiply it by the rate at which the temperature dropped.
Given that the temperature dropped by 2 degrees per hour, and 6 hours have passed between midnight and 6a.m., the calculation would be:
Temperature at 6a.m. = (number of hours passed) x (rate of temperature drop) + (temperature at midnight)
Temperature at 6a.m. = 6 hours x 2 degrees per hour + 31 degrees
Temperature at 6a.m. = 12 degrees + 31 degrees
Temperature at 6a.m. = 43 degrees
Therefore, the temperature at 6a.m. would be 43 degrees.
To find the temperature at 6 a.m., we need to know how many hours have passed since midnight and how much the temperature has dropped each hour.
Given that the temperature dropped by 2 degrees per hour, and 6 hours have passed between midnight and 6 a.m., the temperature would have dropped by 2 degrees/hour x 6 hours = 12 degrees.
Starting with a temperature of 31 degrees at midnight, subtracting 12 degrees for the 6-hour period will give us the temperature at 6 a.m.
31 degrees - 12 degrees = 19 degrees
Therefore, the temperature at 6 a.m. would be 19 degrees.

x - 2Degrees/h * 6h = 31.
x - 12 = 31,
X = 43 Degrees.
