The temperature is shown at 6:00am. It is rising at one degree every thirty minutes. At this rate, it will be 20 degrees at what time?

1 answer

rate: 1deg/30min = 0.0333deg/min
temp=rate X time
20deg= (0.333 deg/min) X t
(20deg/0.333deg/min)=t
t= 600 min
t=(600 min)X 1hr/60min
t=10 hrs
reference time=6:00 pm
t= 4:00 pm.
each 1 deg increment will reach up to 20deg at 4:00 pm
