Answer:

18 degrees

Explanation:

When Mr. Davidson preheated his oven, the oven's temperature rose 3 degrees in 1/ 6 of a minute. At that rate, how much will the oven heat up in 1 minute?

Solving the above question

1/6 minute = 3 degrees

1 minute = x

Cross y

1/6x = 3 × 1

x = 3 ÷ 1/6

x = 3 × 6

x = 18 degrees

The oven will heat up 18 degrees in 1 minute
