At 12 noon if the temperature is 38°C and if it decreases at the rate of 2°C per hour, then what would be the temperature at 5pm?

38-2(5) = 28

So the temperature would be 28 degrees celsius

Teperature at 5PM will be 28°C

Ok so at 12 its 38°C

And it dcreases at 2°C an hour, we need to find the teperature at 5 o clock.

The number of hours between 12 and 5 mutiplied by 2 will give us the trail in temperature and then subtracting the trail i temperature witht the temperature a 12 will give us the teperature at 5 o clock.

SO,

hours between 12 PM and 5 PM is 5 hours

As, the temperature decreases at a uniform rate of 2°c per hour

⇒5×2°C

⇒10°C

Now the temperature at 5 PM will be 38°C-10°C=28°C

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.
