Question

b. a chemist raised the temperature of a liquid 45°f in 1 minute. what is this amount in degrees fahrenheit per second?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert minutes to seconds

Since \(1\) minute \( = 60\) seconds.

Step2: Calculate the rate

The rate is \(\frac{45^{\circ}F}{60\space s}\). Simplify the fraction \(\frac{45}{60}=\frac{45\div15}{60\div15}=\frac{3}{4} = 0.75\).

Answer:

\(0.75^{\circ}F\) per second.
