Question

one spring day, hunter noted the time of day and the temperature, in degrees fahrenheit. during that time, the temperature rose, stayed steady, and fell, at different rates. on the set of axes below, hunter created a graph of temperature over time. how long did the temperature hold steady for?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the steady - part of the graph

The temperature is steady when the graph is a horizontal line.

Step2: Determine the start and end times

The horizontal - line part of the graph starts at noon (12 pm) and ends at 6 pm.

Step3: Calculate the time duration

We subtract the start time from the end time. 6 - 12 = 6 hours.

6 hours
