    Answer:the temperature at 1 p. M is 53 degrees.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the temperatures increased at a constant rate of 3 degrees per hour all day, it means that the temperature is increasing in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

    Tn = a + (n - 1)

    Where

    a represents the first term of the sequence

    n represents the number of terms.

    d represents common difference.

    From the information given,

    d = 3 degrees

    a = initial temperature = 32 degrees

    n = 8 hours (from 6 am to 1 pm

    Temperature at 1 pm would be T8

    T8 = 32 + (8 - 1) 3 = 32 + 7*3

    T8 = 32 + 21 = 53 degrees
