Question 62462: One day, the temperature at 2:00 A.M. was 43°F, and by 3:00 P.M. the temperature was 56°F. What was the hourly rate of temperature change?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
original temperature = 43 deg
Temperature after an hour = 56 deg.
Increase in temp = 56 - 43
= 13 deg.
Hourly rate of temperature change = (13/43)* 100
= 30.2%


Good Luck!!!
