A polar bear migrates north during winter to hunt for its food on sea ice. The daily
average temperature decreases 3°C for every 100 km traveled. At the start of the bear's
journey, the temperature is 2°C. What is the temperature after 200 km of its journey?

Respuesta :

Answer:

-4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at 2 degrees, you need to subract 6 since 200 km= 6 degrees and it decreases.

What is a word problem?

A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of  few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For the given situation,

The daily average temperature decreases 3°C for every 100 km traveled

At the start of the bear's journey, the temperature is 2°C

The total distance traveled by the polar bear = 200 km

For 200 km, [tex](3+3)[/tex] totally 6° C should get decreased.

⇒ [tex](2-6)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]-4[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the temperature after 200 km of the polar bear's journey is -4° C.
