Tamika records the outside temperture at 6:00> the temperature increases by 2'F every hour for the next 6 hours if the temperature continues to increase at the same rate what will the temperature be at 2:00 p.m.?

To solve this, we need to determine how many hours have passed from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and use the rate of temperature increase (2°F per hour) to find the temperature.

### Step-by-step:

1. **Time Difference:**  
   From 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. is 8 hours.

2. **Rate of Temperature Increase:**  
   The temperature increases by 2°F every hour.

3. **Total Increase in Temperature:**  
   Over the 8 hours, the total increase in temperature is:
   \[
   8 \text{ hours} \times 2^\circ \text{F per hour} = 16^\circ \text{F}
   \]

So, the temperature at 2:00 p.m. will be **16°F higher than it was at 6:00 a.m.** 

If you know the temperature at 6:00 a.m., you can add 16°F to that value to get the temperature at 2:00 p.m.

Would you like to provide the initial temperature at 6:00 a.m. so we can calculate the final value, or do you have any other questions?

2. How would the temperature change if it decreased by 2°F per hour?
3. What would be the temperature at 4:00 p.m. following the same rate of increase?
4. If the temperature was 60°F at 6:00 a.m., what would it be at 2:00 p.m.?
5. How long would it take for the temperature to rise by 30°F at the same rate?

### Tip:
Always check the units of measurement (e.g., time and temperature) to ensure consistent and accurate calculations.
