the water temperature at the beach started at 82 degrees and it is rising 0.6 degrees each hour
——
If the water temperature is now 85 degrees write and solve an equation to find h, the number of hours that have passed
——
Current water temperature at beach =82°
temperature rising rate degrees per hour =0.6°
——-
let H be the hours passed.
water temperature at the beach after hour H be =82+0.6H
Therefore,
equation for water temperature after H hour is =82+0.6H
when water temperature is 85°
85 =82 +0.6H
0.6H = 85- 82
0.6H =3
H=3/0.6
H=5 hours
therefore it will take 5 hours to reach temperature of 85°
