Algebra.Com's Answer #550187 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A bottle of juice initially has a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It is left to cool in a refrigerator that has a temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit. After 10 minutes, the temperature of the juice is 55 degrees Fahrenheit.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By what percentage is the juice cooling?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Can someone please help show me the steps on how to solve this problem? I know that the answer is -9.16% \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Temperature calculations have to use absolute scales, either Kelvin or Rankine. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Cooling from 70F to 55F = from 21.11C to 12.78C --> 39.5% decrease. \n" ); document.write( "Is it -9.16% or -39.5% ? \n" ); document.write( "Not a good problem. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
