To determine the temperature at 12 noon, we first need to calculate how many hours have passed from 5:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon.
From 5:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon is 7 hours.
The temperature increases by 1.5°F each hour, so over 7 hours, the total increase in temperature is:
\[
1.5°F/hour \times 7 hours = 10.5°F
\]
Now, we add this increase to the initial temperature of 12°F:
\[
12°F + 10.5°F = 22.5°F
\]
Thus, the temperature at 12 noon would be **22.5°F**.
From 5:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon is 7 hours.
The temperature increases by 1.5°F each hour, so over 7 hours, the total increase in temperature is:
\[
1.5°F/hour \times 7 hours = 10.5°F
\]
Now, we add this increase to the initial temperature of 12°F:
\[
12°F + 10.5°F = 22.5°F
\]
Thus, the temperature at 12 noon would be **22.5°F**.
