Gretel · Answer 1

At 1:00 Both Jonestown and coopervile have the same temperature

Let Jonestown = J and Cooperville = C

Let X = the temperature of both town

Jonestown

=> 1:00 = x

=> 2:00 = x - 10 degrees

=> 3:00 = x - 10 - 8

Cooperville

=> 1:00 = x

=> 2:00 = x - 6

=> 3:00 = x - 6 - 2

Now, which town is colder.

The answer is the Jonestown because the temperature dropped to total of 18 compare to Cooperville which is only 8.
