At 8:00 am yesterday, the temperature was 11°C. By noon, it was 3º warmer. By 6:00 pm, the temperature had fallen 6º. Overnight the temperature dropped
another 3º. What was the temperature at that time?
PLEASE HELP

the correct answer is the second option

moderators are

first, let's see what the pattern is.

58 - x = 47

46 - x = 36

x = 9

so this means that the term after 25 is 25 - 9:

the next term in the sequence is 16.

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75
