Dolbear's law states the relationship between the rate at which Snowy Tree Crickets chirp and the air temperature of their envir
onment. The formula is Upper T equals 50 plus StartFraction Upper N minus 40 Over 4 EndFractionT=50+ N−40 4, where T is a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and N is a number of chirps per minute. If Nequals=9898, find the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, T.
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is rewrite the equation correctly. We have then: T = 50 + (N-40) / 4 We substitute the value of N = 98, we have then: T = 50 + (98-40) / 4 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Answer: the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, T is: T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
