Suppose it was 40° inside your refrigerator and 340° inside your oven when the power goes out. The refrigerator temperature starts rising at a rate of 5° per hour. The oven starts dropping at a rate of 45° per hour. How long will it take for the temperatures to be the same? What will the temperature be than?
