What is Algebra?

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

The meteorologist made a forecast that a cold front was coming through and the temperature would steadily drop 24.8 degrees over the next six and one-fourth hours.

The number of hours will be

6 1/4 = 6.25 hours

Then the temperature drop each hour will be

⇒ 24.8 / 6.25

⇒ 3.968°

The temperature drops each hour will be 3.968°.

Then the correct option is B.
