The temperature is rising at a steady rate of two degrees Fahrenheit per hour. If the temperature is currently 74 degrees, in how many hours will it reach 87 degrees? SHOW WORK PLEASEE

Aight bet, so it's 74 degrees Fahrenheit at the moment, and it takes one hour for it to increase by 2 degrees, so what I would do, is 87 minus 74, which equals to 13, 13 is an odd number of course, but, let's put it at 12 first and do the remaining 1 later, so it's 12, so divide 12 by 2, equals to 6, so for now, 6 hours, then, the remaining 1 degree, as it takes two degrees PER hour, and 1 is half of 2, 1 degree will take 30 mins, so 6 hours and 30 mins.

It will take 6 hours and 30 minutes for the temperature from 74 degrees to increase to 87 degrees.
