What was the temperature of the water at 5 minutes?
Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

  37.5 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature appears to be increasing linearly at the rate of 5 °C in 2 minutes, or 2.5 °C per minute.

1 minute after 4 minutes, when the temperature is 35 °C, we expect it to be 2.5 °C higher, or 37.5 °C.
