Answer :
The temperature dropped by 4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour during the 6-hour period.
What is the drop in temperature?
The temperature drop each hour is calculated as follows;
temperature drop per hour = (change in temperature) / (time elapsed)
change in temperature = final temperature - initial temperature
change in temperature = 58 degrees F - 82 degrees F
change in temperature = -24 degrees F
The time elapsed = 6 hours
The change in temperature or drop in temperature is calculated as;
temperature drop per hour = (-24 degrees F) / (6 hours)
temperature drop per hour = -4 degrees F/hour
