Helena Mccann · Answer 1

The temperature would be - 7 degrees

Adalynn Levy · Answer 2

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

First determine the number of hours that have past from 10PM to 1 AM

10PM to 11 PM is 1 Hour

11PM to 12 AM is 1 Hour

12AM to 1 AM is 1 hour

for a total of 3 hours

Next multiply the average number of degrees the temperature is rising by the number of hours that passed

3 x 3 = 9 which is the total number of degrees the temperature has risen by.

Now add 9 to - 16

-16 + 9 = - 7
