After 5 hours, the temperature in City A will be 70°F - (5°F/hour * 5 hours) = 70°F - 25°F = 45°F.
The temperature in City B after 5 hours will be 70°F - (3°F/hour * 5 hours) = 70°F - 15°F = 55°F.
Therefore, City B is warmer than City A after 5 hours, and the difference in their temperatures is 55°F - 45°F = 10°F.
The temperature is dropping throughout the day as a cold front comes in. In City A, the temperature is changing by −5°F per hour, and in City B the temperature is changing by −3°F per hour. If the temperatures in both cities started at 70°F , which city is warmer, and what is the difference in their temperatures after 5 hours?(1 point) Responses
