Problema Solution
a piece of metal can last 80 minutes at 1550 degrees f.
a torch burn at 6332 degrees f
how long will it take to melt the metal with the torch
Answer provided by our tutors
We assume that the time of the melting is inversely proportional to the temperature of the torch.
Let 'x' represent the time needed for melting when the torch burn at 6332 degrees F.
6332*x = 1550*80
