Q. From midnight to 8:00am, the temperature dropped 0.55∘C each hour. If the temperature at 8:00 am was 4.6∘C, what was the temperature at midnight?Answer: □∘C
Calculate total temperature drop: Determine the total temperature drop from midnight to 8:00 am. Since the temperature drops 0.55∘C each hour and there are 8 hours from midnight to 8:00 am, we multiply the hourly temperature drop by the number of hours. Calculation: 0.55∘C/hour×8hours=4.4∘C total drop.
Find temperature at midnight: Calculate the temperature at midnight.To find the temperature at midnight, we add the total temperature drop to the temperature at 8:00 am.Calculation: 4.6∘C+4.4∘C=9.0∘C.
