Temperature 5

Temperature outside starts at 0 Fahrenheit. Over time the temperature changes at a rate of -0.6 Fahrenheit per hour. How long will it take for the temperature to reach -4.5 Fahrenheit?

Result

t =  7.5 h

Solution:

t1=−4.5 ∘F t0=0 ∘F r=−0.6 ∘F/h  t=(t1−t0)/r=((−4.5)−0)/(−0.6)=152=7.5 ht_{1}=-4.5 \ ^\circ \text{F} \ \\ t_{0}=0 \ ^\circ \text{F} \ \\ r=-0.6 \ ^\circ \text{F/h} \ \\ \ \\ t=(t_{1}-t_{0}) / r=((-4.5)-0) / (-0.6)=\dfrac{ 15 }{ 2 }=7.5 \ \text{h}
