Question

If Time = Age x Celsius and took a 40 year old 6 hours to walk a hill what's the temperature? is the equation c=t/a?

Answer 1

Looks reasonable.

Answer 2

Yes, you're correct. Assuming the equation is for the units you're using:\[c=\frac{t}{a}=\frac{6}{40}=\frac{3}{20}\]

Answer 3

0.15? which would be 15^c?

Answer 4

t is in minutes though, not hours according to the original formula.

Answer 5

So you have to convert 6 hours to 360 minutes.

Answer 6

so that 360/40?

Answer 7

The original equation just says Time = Age x Celsius, how do you know it's in minutes?

Answer 8

it is in minutes,

Answer 9

Because he got it from a previous problem where it said t in minutes.

Answer 10

Oh right, fair enough.

Answer 11

Yes, 360/40 would be the temp.

Answer 12

9^c

Answer 13

\[9^\circ C \]
