Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes analyzing the data. hint: to analyze the data, you examine the data and look for patterns. eli was a line cook in a restaurant, and he was making a new pasta dish. the recipe instructed him to add salt to the pasta - cooking water. eli knew that adding salt to water would cause the water to reach a higher temperature before it boiled. because pasta should cook faster at a higher temperature, eli speculated that the added salt would make the pasta cook more quickly. eli made four pots of pasta with salted water and another four pots with unsalted water. he compared the amount of time it took the pasta to cook to see if it cooked faster in pots with salt. his results showed that although the water from the salted pots boiled at a slightly hotter temperature, the pasta cooked at similar rates in all the pots. he discussed the results of the experiment with his coworkers. they decided not to

The part where Eli examines the time it took for pasta to cook in salt - ed and unsalted water and notes that although the salt - ed water boiled at a higher temperature, the pasta cooked at similar rates in all pots is analyzing the data. He is looking for patterns in the cooking times.

Answer:

His results showed that although the water from the salted pots boiled at a slightly hotter temperature, the pasta cooked at similar rates in all the pots.
