Answer 2

Explanation:

When we store food in a cooler device like refrigerator then it helps in decreasing the growth of microbes in the food. As a result, food readily does not get affected by bacteria and thus it does not get spoiled soon.

An ice box also helps in the storage of food for a few days in homes as it also slow down the growth of bacteria.

Thus, we can conclude that the main benefits to the use of the icebox for cooling food are as follows.

• slowed microbial growth in food.

• allowed people to store a few days of food in their homes.
