Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't see Wen's work, but I'll show you mine!
We can create a set of coordinates for each of these sets of data, where x is the time in hours, and y is the number of degrees in Fahrenheit.
At time 0, the temp is 0: (0, 0)
5.75 hours late, the temp is -15.5: (5.75, -15.5)
We can find the change in temp per hour by using the slope formula, since slope is, after all, the rate at which something is changing.
[tex]m=\frac{-15.5-0}{5.75-0}=\frac{-15.5}{5.75}=-2.7[/tex] That is rounded to the tenths place from -2.695652174 so you can round it however you need. What the interpretation of this number is is that temp is falling at a rate of 2.7 degrees F per hour.
Answer:
- 2 16/23 degrees / hr
Step-by-step explanation:
15 1/2 = 31/2
5 3/4 = 23/4
31/2 ÷ 23/4 =
31/2 × 4/23 = 124/46 = 62/23 = 2 16/23
