To find the average temperature change per hour, you can divide the total temperature change by the number of hours.
The total temperature change is -23 degrees, and the time period is 21 hours.
Average temperature change per hour = Total temperature change / Number of hours
\[
\text{Average temperature change per hour} = \frac{-23 \text{ degrees}}{21 \text{ hours}} \approx -1.0952380952380952 \text{ degrees per hour}
\]
Now, rounding to the nearest tenth:
\[
\text{Average temperature change per hour} \approx -1.1 \text{ degrees per hour}
\]
So, the average temperature change each hour is approximately **-1.1 degrees per hour**.
The total temperature change is -23 degrees, and the time period is 21 hours.
Average temperature change per hour = Total temperature change / Number of hours
\[
\text{Average temperature change per hour} = \frac{-23 \text{ degrees}}{21 \text{ hours}} \approx -1.0952380952380952 \text{ degrees per hour}
\]
Now, rounding to the nearest tenth:
\[
\text{Average temperature change per hour} \approx -1.1 \text{ degrees per hour}
\]
So, the average temperature change each hour is approximately **-1.1 degrees per hour**.
