The temperature at noon is 75 degrees. The temperature drops 3 degrees every half hour. What is the temperature at 4 p.m.

Sagot :

Answer:51 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

At noon the temperature is 75 degrees

the temperature drops 3 degrees every half hour.

First solve for time elapsed between noon and 4, which is 4 hours.

Next, we can change our rate to be in terms of full hours instead of half hours using the fact that 1 hr = 2 half hours, so the temperature drops 6 degrees every hour.

Four hours have elapsed so multiply 6*4 = 24 degrees and then subtract it from the starting 75

75 - 24 = 51.
