Answer: You need to wait at least 6.4 hours to eat the ribs.
t ≥ 6.4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial temperature is 40°F, and it increases by 25% each hour.
This means that during hour 0 the temperature is 40° F
after the first hour, at h = 1h we have an increase of 25%, this means that the new temperature is:
T = 40° F + 0.25*40° F = 1.25*40° F
after another hour we have another increase of 25%, the temperature now is:
T = (1.25*40° F) + 0.25*(1.25*40° F) = (40° F)*(1.25)^2
Now, we can model the temperature at the hour h as:
T(h) = (40°f)*1.25^h
now we want to find the number of hours needed to get the temperature equal to 165°F. which is the minimum temperature that the ribs need to reach in order to be safe to eaten.
So we have:
(40°f)*1.25^h = 165° F
1.25^h = 165/40 = 4.125
h = ln(4.125)/ln(1.25) = 6.4 hours.
then the inequality is:
t ≥ 6.4 hours.
It seems appropriate to use the linear regression function of your calculator for this. Looking at the data, you know the slope is generally positive, so only the 1st and 3rd choices are potentially viable.
A calculator shows the correlation coefficient (r) rounds to 0.816, so the appropriate selection is ...
A. 0.816
Its twenty four because eight yellow marbles times five is forty so 3 times 8 is 24
323 rounds to 320. 320/5=64
