Question 42963: One day, the temperature at 2:00 A.M. was 43F, and by 3:00 the temperature was 56 F. What was the hourly rate of temperature change?

If you mean 3:00 A.M.
(change of temperature)/(change of time)
(56 - 43)/(3 - 2)
(13)/(1) = 13
13 degrees per hour
If you mean 3:00 P.M.
(change of temperature)/(change of time)
(56 - 43)/(15 - 2)
(13)/(13) = 1
1 degree per hour
