To find the average rate of change per hour last night, we can use the equation:
Average rate of change per hour = Total change in temperature รท Total time
In this case, the total change in temperature is given as -18 degrees Fahrenheit, and the total time is given as 6 hours. So, we can substitute these values into the equation:
Average rate of change per hour = -18 รท 6
By dividing -18 by 6, we get:
Average rate of change per hour = -3 degrees Fahrenheit per hour
Therefore, the average rate of change per hour last night was -3 degrees Fahrenheit.
