Question 1154747: When Mrs. Lee poured the soup into a pan it was room temperature. if the room was 85*F and the soupès temperature went up by 15.5*F per minute, about how long would it take for the soup to boil Found 3 solutions by josmiceli, mananth, ikleyn:Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Boiling temperature is 212 F
Let = number of minutes to boil
8 minutes 11.6 sec
----------------------
check the math
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume boiling point of soup = 100 deg
Room temperature 85 deg
temperature to raise 15 deg
15.5 deg in 1 minute
15 deg rise in 15/15.5
0.97 hours = 58 minutes

In his post, @mananth made a fatal error.
He missed to convert boiling point 100 deg Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, 212 F,
and got absurdist answer.
So, we should calculate the time as
t = = 8.194 minutes, or about 8 minutes and 12 seconds.
