From midnight to 9:00 am, the temperature rose 53∘C each hour. If the temperature at midnight was −9∘C, what was the temperature at 9:00 am?Answer: □∘C
Q. From midnight to 9:00 am, the temperature rose 53∘C each hour. If the temperature at midnight was −9∘C, what was the temperature at 9:00 am?Answer: □∘C
Calculate Total Temperature Increase: Determine the total temperature increase over 9 hours.Since the temperature rises by (3)/(5)°C each hour, we need to multiply this hourly increase by the number of hours from midnight to 9:00 am.(3)/(5)°C/hour ×9 hours =(3×9)/(5)°C
Calculate Total Increase: Calculate the total temperature increase.(3×9)/(5)∘C=27/5∘C27/5∘C=5.4∘CThis is the total temperature increase from midnight to 9:00 am.
Calculate Temperature at 9:00 am: Calculate the temperature at 9:00 am.The temperature at midnight was −9∘C. We add the total temperature increase to the initial temperature to find the temperature at 9:00 am.−9∘C+5.4∘C=−3.6∘C
