in January 2008 the temperature in parts of Minnesota fell from 41 degrees to 13 degrees over a 24 hour period what was the average temperature change per hour class=

Respuesta :

We need to find the average termperature change per hour during January 2008.

We have the information that Minnesota fell from 41 degrees to -13 degrees over 24 hours.

Then, 41 degrees to -13 degrees, there is a difference of 41+13 = 54 degrees over 24 hours.

If the difference is over 24 hours, then:

54 degrees / 24 hours =2.25 F is the rate of change.

However, the termperature is decreasing, so the rate of change must be negative.

Hence, the rate of change = -2.25 F.

The correct answer is the third option.
