Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Let's take the the first hour to be 12 noon. Now, the temperature as at 12 noon drops by 3 degrees when the next hour, 1 pm, reaches.
So, 12 noon - 1 pm = 3 degrees
1 pm to 2 pm = 3 degrees
2 pm to 3 pm = 3 degrees
3 pm to 4 pm = 3 degrees
4 pm to 5 pm = 3 degrees
5 pm to 6 pm = 3 degrees
6 pm to 7 pm = 3 degrees
7 pm to 8 pm = 3 degrees
Hence, how many 3 degrees do we have in this 8 hour period?
Simply add all the 3 degrees from (12noon - 1pm) to (7pm - 8pm)
24 degrees, right?
