Question

The temperature was 15°F when you woke up. It went down 2 degrees each hour for the next 5 hours. What was the final temperature?

Answer 1

The temperature started at 15 then dropped 2 degrees every hour for 5 hours.
X=15-5(2)
X=15-10
X=5

Answer 2

Answer:  $5^{\circ}\ F$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: When you woke, the temperature was = $15^{\circ}\ F$

Since, the temperature went down  $2^{\circ}\ F$ each hour.

Therefore, the total temperature went down after 5 hours will be :-

$5\times2^{\circ}\ F=10^{\circ}\ F$

Thus, the final temperature will be :-

$15^{\circ}\ F-10^{\circ}\ F=5^{\circ}\ F$

Hence, the final temperature will be $5^{\circ}\ F$.
