You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Okay. At 8:00 am you have 41 degrees. The day goes by, and at 1:00pm, you have 61 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The degree difference is 20 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, how many hours occur from 8:00am to 1:00pm?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's count:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. 8:00
\n" ); document.write( "2. 9:00
\n" ); document.write( "3. 10:00
\n" ); document.write( "4. 11:00
\n" ); document.write( "5. 12:00\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So 5 hours.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, you have 20 degrees over five hours, and you need to find how much it changed per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we just divide the number of degrees by the number of hours.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"20%2F5=4\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And 4 is your answer. =) \n" ); document.write( "
