The average temperature change per hour can be calculated by dividing the total temperature change by the number of hours. In this case, the total temperature change is 0°C - (-20°C) = 20°C, and the number of hours is 5 hours.

Therefore, the average temperature change per hour is 20°C / 5 hours = 4°C/hour.

So the answer is 4 ºC.
you are wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's calculate the average temperature change per hour correctly.

The temperature dropped from 0°C to -20°C, which means a change of 0°C - (-20°C) = 20°C.

Since this change occurred over 5 hours, we can calculate the average temperature change per hour by dividing the total change (20°C) by the number of hours (5 hours).

Therefore, the average temperature change per hour is 20°C / 5 hours = 4°C/hour.

So the correct answer is 4 ºC.
