We can calculate the total change in temperature by multiplying the rate of change (1 degree per hour) by the total time ( hours).
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the rate of change and time to calculate the change in temperature.
STEP 4
Calculate the change in temperature.
The temperature decreased by3 degrees over the course of3 hours.
