Question

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 temperature in both cities started at 70 f, which city is warmer, and what is the difference in their temperatures after 5 hours?

GPT 3.5 · Answer

In city A, the temperature is changing by -5°F per hour, so after 5 hours, the temperature would be:

70°F - 5°F/hour * 5 hours = 70°F - 25°F = 45°F

In city B, the temperature is changing by -3°F per hour, so after 5 hours, the temperature would be:

70°F - 3°F/hour * 5 hours = 70°F - 15°F = 55°F

Therefore, after 5 hours, city B is warmer than city A by 10°F (55°F - 45°F).
