Question

a 12-ounce can of soda is at a temperature of 13°f. then the soda is divided equally into three smaller glasses. each glass is at 13°f before the soda is poured. the temperature of each 4-ounce glass of soda is about ______ the temperature of the original can of soda. the same as three times one-third

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Temperature Transfer

Temperature is an intensive property, meaning it doesn't depend on the amount of substance. The soda is divided, but the temperature of the substance (soda) remains the same as the original, and the glasses were already at the same temperature.

Step2: Evaluate Options

• "three times" is incorrect as temperature doesn't scale with volume here.
• "one - third" is incorrect for the same reason (intensive property).
• "the same as" is correct because temperature of a substance (soda) and the glasses (already at same temp) won't change the soda's temperature.

Answer:

the same as
