The local meteorologist claims that the temperature is going to steadily drop over the next 4 hours. If the temperature changes by the same amount each hour, and it changes by a total of -28F, how much will it change each hour? Explain how you got your anwser im 2 or more complete sentences.

The answer was obtained by first taking the measurement for the temperature drop, the duration of the temperature drop, and the rate at which the temperature is dropping which are -28 F, 4 hours, and dropping at a steady rate.

The measured temperature drop of -28 F, is then divided by the duration of the drop which is 4 hours, to get the amount the temperature drop each our as -28F/4 = -7 F per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which the local meteorologist claims that the temperature is going to drop = Steady rate

The duration over which the local meteorologist states that the temperature is going to drop = 4 hours

The amount by which the temperature is observed to drop = -28F

The rate at which the temperature is observed to drop = The same amount each hour

Therefore, the temperature drop per hour = -28F/4 = -7 F per hour
