The temperature is 78 °F at 2:00 in the afternoon. If the temperature drops 4 °F every hour after that, what is the temperature at 8:00 in the evening?

The answer to your question is: 54°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Ti = 78°F

Initial hour = 2:00

Temperature drops 4°F every hour

Temperature at 8:00 = ?

Process

2:00

3:00 78-4 = 74°F

4:00 74-4 = 70°F

5:00 70-4 = 66°F

6:00 66-4 = 62°F

7:00 62-4 = 58°F

8:00 58-4 = 54°F
