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

Degree of temperature dropped in last 30 days = 15 degrees

∴ Degree of temperature dropped in last 30 days = $\frac{15}{30}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ degree

∴ Degree of temperature dropped in last 10 days = $\frac{1}{2}$×10

= 5 degree

Thus, 5 degree Celsius temperature dropped in 10 days.
