Answer 1

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• In the last 15 days, the temperature of a city dropped 7 degree celsius.
• If the rate at which the temperature drops remains the same.

To Find :-

• How many degrees will the temperature drop in the next 5 days?

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

7 degree Celsius temperature drops in 15 days.

Rate of drop of temperature per day = $\frac{7}{15}$

Temperature dropped in 1 day = $\frac{7}{15}$

Temperature dropped in 5 days = $5\times \frac{7}{15}$

Temperature dropped in 5 days = $\frac{7}{3}$

Temperature dropped in 5 days = 2.66666° = 2.67°
