Question

The temperature of chicken soup is 192.7°F. As it cools, the temperature of the soup decreases 2.3°F per minute. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of the soup after 25 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: 135.2 °F

Explanation:

The temperature decreases at a rate of 2.3 °F per minute.

This means that in 25 minutes, the temperature would have reduced by:

= 2.3 * 25

= 57.5°F

If the original temperature was 192.7 °F, the temperature after 25 minutes will be:

= 192.7 - 57.5

= 135.2 °F
