1. Given the cooling equation T(t)=90e-0.008377t + 75 where T(t) is the temperature of a turkey after t minutes, how
long would it take for the turkey to reach 110oF?
Answer: about 113 min
2. Given the cooling equation T(t)=90e-0.008377t + 75 where T(t) is the temperature of a turkey after t minutes, what
would the temperature be after 50 minutes?
Answer: about 134 deg F
3. Which cooling equation correctly represents the following scenario: A cooked turkey is 165oF when it is taken
out of the oven in a 75oF room. After 30 minutes the temperature of the turkey is 145 oF.
Answer: T(t) = 90e-0.008377t+ 75

5. Given the cooling equation S(t)=31e-0.011726t + 69 where t is the number of minutes and S(t) represents the
temperature the soup, how long would it take for the soup to get to 80oF?
Answer: about 88 min
6. Given the cooling equation S(p)=31e-0.011726t + 69 where t is the number of minutes and S(p) represents the
temperature the soup, what would the temperature of the soup be after 2 and a half hours?
Answer: about 74 deg F
7. Which cooling equation correctly represents the following scenario: Boiling soup is 100oF when it is taken off of
the stove in a 69oF room. After 15 minutes the temperature of the soup is 95 oF.
Answer: S(p) = 31 e-0.011726t+69
8. Given the that a hot pizza cools according to the equation P(t)=350e-0.35t + 75 and Matt and Tyler like to eat their
pizza when it is 110o F, how long will they have to wait to eat their pizza?
Answer: about 6.5 min
