Question

During an experiment, the temperature of a liquid increased 6 degrees in 30 minutes. The temperature increased at a steady rate.
By how much did the temperature increase every minute?
(Very urgent! Answer in decimal form!)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 every min

Step-by-step explanation:

6/30=0.2

Answer 2

Answer:

0.2 degrees in a minute

Step-by-step explanation:

6 degrees in 30 minutes as a ratio is..

6:30

6 to 30

$\frac{6}{30}$

$\frac{6deg}{30min} =\frac{???}{1min}$

To find the answer to "???" you must DIVIDE. This is because the temperature was at a steady rate and it is measurement over minute meaning division.

So...

6 degrees divided by 30 minutes is 0.2 degrees

This means

$\frac{6deg}{30min} =\frac{0.2deg}{1min}$= In words = 6 degrees per 30 minutes is 0.2 degrees per minute

Hope this helps you!

Have a good day! :)
