Answer:

Rate of Temperature Change = 3.5 degrees per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the rate of rising of the temperature in degrees per hour, we will use the following formula:

[tex]Rate\ of\ Temperature\ Change = \frac{Rise\ in\ Temperature}{Time\ Taken\ for\ the\ Rise} \\\\[/tex]

where,

Rise in temperature = 2 and 1/2 degree = 2.5 degrees

Time taken for the Rise = 2/3 of an hour = 0.667 h

Therefore,

[tex]Rate\ of\ Temperature\ Change = \frac{2.5\ degrees}{0.667\ h}\\[/tex]

Rate of Temperature Change = 3.5 degrees per hour
