Question

If the oven temperature drops 2 degrees every time 50 pills are produced, what will the temperature reading be when this batch of pill production is finished? processing 145 pills oven temperature 160

Answer 1

Answer

154.2°

Explanation

the oven temperature drops 2 degrees every time 50 pills, then for 145 we have:

$\frac{2}{50}=\frac{x}{145}$$x=\frac{145\cdot2}{50}=5.8$

The iniial oven temperature is 160, so:

$160-5.8=154,2$

when this batch of pill production is finished the temperature will be 154.2°
