It dropped 10 degrees remember when dividing integers divide the numerals then apply sign rules.

Amari Simon · Answer 2

50/5hours=10 degrees an hour. This is a unit rate. Divide the denominator by itself to get one. Then divide the numerator by itself to get the rate. So the unit rate is ten degrees per hour.
