Question

An experiment calls for the temperature of the liquid to change at a rate of -0.6C per minute. Write and evaluate an expression to find how long will it take for the liquid to reach -10.5C.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is it will take 17.5 min

Explanation:

Data

rate = -0.6°C

time when temperature = -10.5°C

Process

1.- Write the function to solve this problem

T = temperature

t = time

T(t) = -0,6t

2.- Find t when T = -10.5°C

-10.5 = -0.6t

solve for t

t = -10.5/-10.6

t = 17.5 min
