Question

One day at 3:00 a.m., the temperature was -13°F in Kodiak, Alaska. At 10:00 a.m., the temperature was 22°F. What was the average change in temperature per hour?

Answer 1

-13 to 0 = 13 degrees changed. 0 to 22 is 22 degrees changed. 13 + 22 = 35 degree change.

10-3 = 7.

So there was a change of 35 degrees across 7 hours

35/7 = 5 degrees per hour.

Answer 2

Answer:

35 is the average change
