Question

The amount of time it takes for an ice cube to melt varies inversely to the
air temperature, in degrees. At 70°F the ice will melt in 20 min. How long
vill it take the ice to melt if the temperature is 85°F?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time goes down to 16.47 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Time to melt = k / Temperature      (I doubt it is this simple)

Givens

Temp = 70

Time = 20

k  =

Solution

20 = k / 70             Multiply both sides by 70

20*70 = k

k = 1400

Problem

What happens when Temp = 85?

Time = k / Temp

Time = 1400 / 85

Time = 16.47 Min
