To find the average temperature change per hour, we need to divide the total temperature change by the total number of hours.

Total temperature change = -24°C - 0°C = -24°C

Total number of hours = 4 hours

Average temperature change per hour = Total temperature change / Total number of hours
= -24°C / 4 hours
= -6°C/hour

Therefore, the average temperature change per hour is -6°C.
