Answer:
[tex]x = 24\ degrees[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
16 degrees = 10 hours
Required
Determine the change over 16 hours
Let the change be represented with x,
So, we have:
16 degrees = 10 hours
x = 15 hours
Cross Multiply:
[tex]x * 10\ hours = 16\ degrees * 15\ hours[/tex]
[tex]x * 10 = 16\ degrees * 15[/tex]
Divide through by 10
[tex]x = \frac{16\ degrees * 15}{10}[/tex]
[tex]x = 16\ degrees * 1.5[/tex]
[tex]x = 24\ degrees[/tex]
