The temperature drop by 12° in 5 hours.The temperature dropped completely equation that represents the amount of change x Of temperature every hour and solve the equations

Question

5x=___
The temperature decreased by ___*every hour

Answer 1

To find the temperature drop per hour, we can use the total temperature drop and divide it by the total time (in hours).

We know:

• Total temperature drop = 12°
• Total time = 5 hours

We can express the change in temperature per hour (x) with the equation:

\[ 5x = 12 \]

Now, we solve for x:

\[ x = \frac{12}{5} \]

Thus,

\[ x = 2.4° \]

This means the temperature decreased by 2.4° every hour.

To complete your statements:

1. 5x = 12
2. The temperature decreased by 2.4° every hour.
