Question

A certain freezing process requires that room temperature be lowered from 8◦ C, at the rate of 4◦ C every 3 hours. What will be the room temperature after 5 hours?

Answer 1

The present room temperature = 40\degree C40°C

The room temperature decreasing every hour by rate of = 5\degree C5°C

The room temperature after 10 hours will be

= 40\degree C\ +\ 10\times\left(-5\degree C\right)40°C + 10×(−5°C)

= 40\degree C-50\degree C\40°C−50°C

= -10\degree C−10°C

so, the room temperature after 10 hour = -10\degree C−10°C

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The present room temperature = 40\degree C40°C

The room temperature decreasing every hour by rate of = 5\degree C5°C

The room temperature after 10 hours will be

= 40\degree C\ +\ 10\times\left(-5\degree C\right)40°C + 10×(−5°C)

= 40\degree C-50\degree C\40°C−50°C

= -10\degree C−10°C

so, the room temperature after 10 hour = -10\degree C−10°C
