Body temperature was 36.8 degrees at 06:00, 37.4 at 10:00, 38.2 at 14:00 and 37.6 at 18:00. During which period did it rise fastest per hour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. From 10:00 to 14:00
- Step 1: 06:00-10:00 rose 0.6 degrees in four hours, or 0.15 per hour. Step 2. 10:00-14:00 rose 0.8 degrees, or 0.2 per hour, and 14:00-18:00 fell. Answer: 10:00 to 14:00. Why not the others: the first rise is slower and the last period is a fall.
