A 60kg bush walker is suffering from hypothermia, having an average body temperature of 33.5 degrees Celsius. When rescued, she was wrapped in a blanket and given two 310ml cups of warm tea eat at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Calculate the maximum rise in the bushwalker's body temperature due to the heat of the tea

(Human body =3.5 x 10^3 J/kg/K)

Note: The answer is 0.3 degrees Celsius but I can't figure how to work the wuestion out
