Question

(a)
5. The temperature at 12 noon was 10°C above zero. If it decreases at the rate of 2°C
per hour until midnight, at what time would the temperature be 8°C below zero?
What would be the temperature at mid-night?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Change in temperature = 10 - ( -8 ) = 18°C. Rate of decrease = 2° per hour. Time = 18 / 2 = 9 hours. So, the time at which temperature goes 8°C below 0 is 9:00 

Answer 2

Answer:

Temperature will be 8°C below zero at 6am.

At midnight temperature will be 2°C below zero
