Q. From midnight to 2:00am, the temperature dropped 1.2∘C each hour. If the temperature at midnight was −10∘C, what was the temperature at 2:00 am?Answer: □∘C
Calculate total temperature drop: Determine the total temperature drop over the 2-hour period. Since the temperature drops 1.2∘C each hour, we multiply the hourly drop by the number of hours.
Find new temperature at 2:00 am: Calculate the new temperature at 2:00 am by subtracting the total temperature drop from the initial temperature at midnight.
