Question 1078775: a dish of lasagna baked at 350 degrees is taken out of the oven into a kitchen that is 68 degrees. After 7 minutes, the temperature of the dish is 299.8 degrees. what will its temperature be 12 minutes after it was taken out of the oven? Round to the nearest degree.

Newton�s Law of Cooling Formula is expressed by
T(t) = Ts + (T0 � Ts) e-Kt
Where,
t = time,
T(t) = temperature of the given body at time t,
Ts = surrounding temperature,
To = initial temperature of the body,
k = constant.

So:
T(7)=68+(350-68)e^-kt
299.8=68+282e^-7k
e^-7k=0.82198581560283687943262411347518
ln e^-7k=ln 0.82198581560283687943262411347518
-7k=-0.1960321400324622534737708260656
k=0.02800459143320889335339583229509
Then:
T(12)=68+(350-68)e^-12(0.02800459143320889335339583229509)
T(12)=68+(282)0.71458373316960990812286116751929
T(12)=269.512 degrees 12 minutes out of the oven. ☺☺☺☺
