A weather forecaster predicts that the temperature in antarctica will decrease 8°f each hour for the next 6 hours. write and solve an inequality to determine how many hours tt it will take for the temperature to drop at least 36°f.

Respuesta :

Let x = hours required for the temperature to drop by 36°F.

The temperature drops by 8°F per hour, therefore the temperature will drop at least 36°F if
8x > 36
or
x > 4.5

Answer: 8x > 36
