Problema Solution
A roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature has reached 185°F and is placed on a table in a room where the temperature is 75°F. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
(a) If the temperature of the turkey is 150°F after half an hour, what is the temperature after 55 minutes?
Answer provided by our tutors
The turkey starts at 185°F, and in 30 minutes goes down to 150°F, in 30 minutes there is 35 degree difference, so per minute the temperature goes down 1.16667 degrees.
Multiply 1.16667(55) =64.16667
Now do 185-64.16667 = 120.833°F
