Question

The temperature of a liquid in an experiment starts at 0 degrees Celsius. The experiment calls for the temperature of the liquid to change at a rate of –0.6 degree Celsius per minute. How long will it take for the liquid to reach –10.5 degrees Celsius? 2Points Remember to divide to find the minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 17.5 minutes or 17 minutes and 30 seconds to reach -10.5 degrees celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at 0 degrees, we have a change of -0.6 degree celsius per minute

We want to know how long it will take for the liquid to reach - 10.5 degrees Celsius

The total difference between the two is;

-10.5 - 0 = -10.5

The change per minute is -0.6

So the number of minutes it will take will be;

-10.5/-0.6 = 17.5 minutes
