Given:
Current temperature on the top of the mountain = 0°C
Rate at which the temperature falls= 4°C per hour
To find:
The temperature in:
- In 2 hours?
- In 5 hours?
- In half an hour?
- 1 hour ago?
- 3 hours ago?
- 4.5 hours ago
Solution:
If currently the temperature is 0°C, and the temperature falls by 4°C after one hour.
- In 2 hours the temperature will fall by 8°C and the final temperature would be -8°C.
- In 5 hours the temperature will fall by 20°C and the final temperature would be -20°C.
- In half an hour the temperature will fall by 2°C and the final temperature would be -2°C.
- 1 hour ago the temperature would be 4°C more hence the temperature must be 4°C.
- 3 hour ago the temperature would be 12°C more hence the temperature must be 12°C.
- 4.5 hour ago the temperature would be 18°C more hence the temperature must be 18°C.
In 2 hours = -8°C
In 5 hours = -20°C
In half an hour = -2°C
1 hour ago = 4°C
3 hours ago = 12°C
4.5 hours ago = 18°C
