After spending many hours studying for your math class, you decide to reward yourself with a case of cream soda. Unfortunately, Corner Market only had a warm case left. You buy several bags of ice and decide to chill it at home. When you get home, the temperature of the soda is 76° F, and you proceed to pack it in ice. After 10 minutes, the temperature cooled to 70° F. If cream soda is best served at 60° F or cooler, how much longer must you wait to enjoy your chilled cream soda?

Answer:About sixteen minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: After you find out that Ten minutes is six degrees you divide ten by six and get 1.666. Then you multiply that by the time remaining and get 16 minutes rounded. or seventeen if you are specific.
