To find the average change in temperature per hour, we need to first find the total change in temperature and then divide by the number of hours elapsed.
Total change in temperature = final temperature - initial temperature
Final temperature = 22°F
Initial temperature = -13°F
Total change in temperature = 22°F - (-13°F) = 35°F
Number of hours elapsed = 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 a.m. = 7 hours
Average change in temperature per hour = total change in temperature / number of hours elapsed
Average change in temperature per hour = 35°F / 7 hours = 5°F/hour
Therefore, the average change in temperature per hour is 5°F.
