Answer:

It would take more than 16 weeks to drop below freezing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature is dropping from 96°F to 32°F at a rate of 4°F per week, where 32°F is the freezing point.

Hence, 32 = 96 - 4w { Where w week is required to reach 32°F }

⇒ 4w = 64  

⇒ w = 16

Therefore, it would take more than 16 weeks to drop below freezing. ( Answer )
