On New Year’s Eve, the temperature fell by 24 degrees in a span of 6 hours. By how many degrees did the temperature fall every hour?
To find out how many degrees the temperature fell every hour, we can divide the total decrease (24 degrees) by the number of hours it took for the temperature to drop (6 hours).
24 degrees / 6 hours = <<24/6=4>>4 degrees
Therefore, the temperature fell by 4 degrees every hour.
