Answer:

3 °F/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate per hour of temperature change = change in temperature per measurement/change in time per measurement.

Now, the change in temperature per measurement is constant = 3/4 °F and the change in time per measurement is constant = 15 minutes = 15/60 h = 1/4 h.

So, rate per hour of temperature change = change in temperature per measurement/change in time per measurement

= 3/4 °F ÷ 1/4 h

= 3/4 °F × 4/h

= 3 °F/h

So, the rate per hour of temperature change is 3 °F/h
