Question

If the oven temperature drops 2 degrees every time 50 pills are produced, what will the temperature reading be when this batch of pill production is finished? processing 145 pills oven temperature 160

Answer 1

154.2°

Step-by-step explanation

the oven temperature drops 2 degrees every time 50 pills, then for 145 we have:

`(2)/(50)=(x)/(145)`
`x=(145\cdot2)/(50)=5.8`

The iniial oven temperature is 160, so:

`160-5.8=154,2`

when this batch of pill production is finished the temperature will be 154.2°
