In the investigation of a murder, a lifeless body was found by Inspector Núñez at exactly 8:00PM, being alert, he measured the temperature of the body registering it at 33°C. 3 hours later, the inspector noted that the body temperature was 24 °C. Knowing that the room temperature was 18°C, determine the time at which the murder occurred. Consider normal body temperature to be 37°C. Report the time in decimals, for example 1 hour 30 minutes in decimals will be 1.5 hours.
