suppose the temperature is -12 degrees F and rises 4 degrees every hour for 3 hours. What will the temp b then?
Can you please help me write out the equation?
Thanks
-12 + (4 * 3) = ?
zero
Right. Does that make sense to you?
yes, it does!
Thank you!
You're welcome. :-)
Of course! To find the temperature after a specific number of hours, we can use the equation:
Temperature = Initial Temperature + (Change in Temperature per hour) × (Number of hours)
In this case, the initial temperature is -12 degrees Fahrenheit, and the change in temperature per hour is +4 degrees Fahrenheit. We want to find the temperature after 3 hours.
Using the equation, we can write it as:
Temperature after 3 hours = -12 + (4 × 3)
Now we can calculate it:
Temperature after 3 hours = -12 + 12
Temperature after 3 hours = 0
Therefore, the temperature will be 0 degrees Fahrenheit after 3 hours.
I hope this helps!
