Multiply Integers

The outdoor temperature gets 1 degree colder each hour for 3 hours. What is the change in temperature at the end of those 3 hours?

Write an expression to represent the situation.

The change is negative 3 degrees Temp: x -h is the expression, h being number of hours, and x being the current temperature

The change in temperature after 3 hours, with the temperature dropping 1 degree each hour, is a decrease of 3 degrees. To represent this situation with an expression, you can use multiplication of integers: -1 degree/hour × 3 hours = -3 degrees. Here, -1 represents the decrease in temperature per hour and a multiplication with 3 hours gives the total temperature change over the specified period.

The change in temperature over 3 hours is a decrease of 3 degrees, represented by the expression -1 degree/hour multiplied by 3 hours. Thus, the total change is -3 degrees. This shows that as the temperature drops 1 degree each hour, after 3 hours the cumulative change is -3 degrees.
