190 F after 0 minutes, 170 F after 30 minutes --> decrease of 2/3 degrees every minute\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) 190 - 70(2/3) = 430/3 = 143 1/3 degrees \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) 190 - (2/3)x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "70 = 2x/3
\n" ); document.write( "210 = 2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 105 minutes
