Question

Isaac and Sakura are both doing a science experiment where they are measuring the temperature of a liquid over time. Graphs that represent each of their data are shown below. A graph titled Isaac's Experiment has time (minutes) on the x-axis and Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 80) and (2, 70). A graph titled Sakura's Experiment has time (minutes) on the x-axis and Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, negative 80) and (8, 0). Which statement is correct

Answer 1

Isaac's experiment shows a temperature decrease from 80 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit over 2 minutes, while Sakura's experiment shows a temperature decrease from -80 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit over 8 minutes. Sakura's experiment shows a greater decrease in temperature over a longer period of time compared to Isaac's experiment.

In Isaac's Experiment, the line graph shows that the temperature decreases from 80 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit over a period of 2 minutes.

In Sakura's Experiment, the line graph shows that the temperature decreases from -80 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit over a period of 8 minutes.

Therefore, the correct statement is that Sakura's experiment shows a greater decrease in temperature over a longer period of time compared to Isaac's experiment.
