During a cold winter training session, the temperature dropped 5 degrees every hour for 6 hours straight. If the temperature started at 28 degrees, what was the temperature after 6 hours?(1 point) Responses 58 ° 58 degree -2° -2degree 2° 2degree -58°

Answer 1

To find the temperature after 6 hours, we can use the following calculation:

1. Starting temperature: 28 degrees
2. Decrease in temperature: 5 degrees per hour for 6 hours

First, we calculate the total decrease in temperature:

\[ \text{Total decrease} = 5 \text{ degrees/hour} \times 6 \text{ hours} = 30 \text{ degrees} \]

Now, subtract the total decrease from the starting temperature:

\[ \text{Final temperature} = 28 \text{ degrees} - 30 \text{ degrees} = -2 \text{ degrees} \]

Therefore, the temperature after 6 hours would be -2 degrees.

So the correct response is -2°.
