In 12 hours the temperature steadily fell from 17°f to 7°f. what was the average change in temperature per hour?

The average change in temperature per hour is 0.833 degrees per hour

Solution:

Given that In 12 hours the temperature steadily fell from 17°F to 7°F

To find: Average change in temperature per hour

First let us calculate the difference when temperature steadily fell from 17°F to 7°F

The difference from 17 degrees to 7 degrees is given as:

difference = 17 - (  7) = 17 - 7 = 10 degrees

And it took 10 hours for such a change to happen.

Now let us find the average change in temperature per hour

Average change in temperature per hour is calculated by dividing 10 degrees by 12 hours

Thus the average change in temperature per hour is 0.833 degrees per hour

the answer is 0.071
