#### Task:
- The graph shows the temperature recorded each hour.
- At what time was the temperature at $40^\circ$?
- By how much did the temperature fall between 6 am and 8 am?
#### Solution:
1. At what time was the temperature at $40^\circ$?
- Look at the graph and find the point where the temperature line intersects the $40^\circ$ mark on the vertical axis.
- From the graph, we can see that the temperature reaches $40^\circ$ at 2 pm.
2. By how much did the temperature fall between 6 am and 8 am?
- At 6 am, the temperature is approximately $35^\circ$.
- At 8 am, the temperature is approximately $30^\circ$.
- The change in temperature is:
\[
30^\circ - 35^\circ = -5^\circ
\]
- The temperature fell by 5 degrees.
#### Final Answers:
- At what time was the temperature at $40^\circ$: 2 pm
- By how much did the temperature fall between 6 am and 8 am: 5 degrees
