Question

Riley is preheating her oven before using it to bake. The initial temperature of the oven is 65° and the temperature will increase at a rate of 10° per minute after being turned on. What is the temperature of the oven 6 minutes after being turned on? What is the temperature of the oven t minutes after being turned on? ​

Answer 1

After 6 minutes, the oven temperature will be:
`125^o`

Explanation:

If the increase in temperature is
`10^o` per minute, then in 6 minutes, the increase in temperature would be
`6\,*\,10^o=60^o`, therefore, since the initial temperature of the oven was
`65^o`, its temperature after 6 minutes would be:

`65^o+60^o=125^o`
