at midnight the temperature was -12 F , over the next 5 hours the temperature drops 18 total what was the temperature at 5:00 am?

To find the temperature at 5:00 AM, we need to calculate how much the temperature has dropped from midnight.

1. **Starting temperature at midnight:** \(-12^\circ F\)
2. **Total drop over the next 5 hours:** \(-18^\circ F\)

Now, add the drop to the starting temperature:

\[
-12^\circ F - 18^\circ F = -30^\circ F
\]

So, the temperature at 5:00 AM is \(-30^\circ F\).

1. What would the temperature be if it dropped another 10 degrees by 6:00 AM?
2. If the temperature rises 15 degrees from 5:00 AM, what will it be?
3. What is the average rate of temperature drop per hour from midnight to 5:00 AM?
4. If the temperature was \(-12^\circ F\) at midnight and \(-30^\circ F\) at 5:00 AM, what was the total change in temperature?
5. How would the temperature change if it increased by 5 degrees every hour after 5:00 AM?

**Tip:** When dealing with temperature changes, adding a negative value indicates a decrease, while adding a positive value indicates an increase!
