Tina has a greenhouse in which she grows strawberries. The sprinkler system in the greenhouse sprays a fine mist to ensure the s
trawberries get enough water. The strawberries are watered for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes every day and the temperature in the greenhouse is kept constant at 25 °C. The clock below shows the time each morning when the sprinkler system is switched off
a) From the clock shown in the image attached, we can see that the time that the sprinkler system is switched off is at 11:56 am. Since the strawberries are watered for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes every day, the time that the sprinkler is switched on can be gotten by subtracting 2 hours 45 minutes from 11:56 am. Hence:
Time sprinkler system is switched on = 11:56 am - 2 hours 45 minutes = 9:11 am
b) Temperature in °Farenheit = (1.8 * temperature in degree Celsius) + 32°
Temperature in °Farenheit = (1.8 * 25°) + 32° = 45° + 32°
