Question

The temperature of a hot steak starts at 140f and decreases at 5f per minute what will the temperature of this steak after a certain number of minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

T(m) = (140 - 5m)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Initial temperature, a = 140 F

Rate of decrease = 5 F per minute

Given a certain Number of minutes, m

Temperature, T after m minutes ;

Using the formula :

Final temperature = Initial temperature - 5*number of minutes)

T(m) = (140 - 5m)

Given that ; m = 10

T(10) = 140 - 5(10)

T(10) = 140 - 50

T(10) = 90 F
