Question

The temperature dropped $15$ degree celsius in the last $30$ days. If the rate of temperature drop remains the same, how many degrees will the temperature drop in the next ten days?

Answer 1

Step 1: Temperature

1. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in a system or a physical quantity that represents hot and cold.
2. Heat should not be confused with temperature.

Step 2: Determine the temperature drop in next $10$ days

Temperature drop in $30$ days $=15°C$

Temperature drop in $1$ day $={\frac{15}{30}}^{°}C$

Temperature drop in $1$ day $={\frac{1}{2}}^{°}C$

Therefore, temperature drop in next $10$ days will be the product of $\frac{1}{2}$ and $10$.

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 10$

$=5°C$

Thus, the temperature will be $5°C$.
