Question

The temperature drop by 12° in 5 hours.The temperature dropped completely equation that represents the amount of change x Of temperature every hour and solve the equations
5x=___
The temperature decreased by ___*every hour

Answer 1

To find the temperature drop per hour, we can use the total temperature drop and divide it by the total time (in hours).

We know:
- Total temperature drop = 12°
- Total time = 5 hours

We can express the change in temperature per hour (x) with the equation:

\[
5x = 12
\]

Now, we solve for x:

\[
x = \frac{12}{5}
\]

Thus,

\[
x = 2.4°
\]

This means the temperature decreased by **2.4° every hour**.

To complete your statements:

1. **5x = 12**
2. The temperature decreased by **2.4° every hour**.
