Explanation for Question 5 From the Math (Calc) Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 9
Questions five and six, refer to the following information, 2 this graph, and this paragraph right here. And then question five reads 3 of the following, which best approximates the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of the coffee 4 when it is first removed from the heat source. 5 So let's break down what this is asking. It's asking for the temperature of 6 the coffee when it's first removed from the heat source. 7 So when it's first removed, time is going to be equal to zero that's 8 right, right. When it's taken off and looking at this X axis, 9 we can see that time. Zero is right here since the X axis is 10 time since the cup was removed from the heat source. 11 And we can see that at zero minutes, 12 the temperature was just under 200 degrees Fahrenheit. 13 So from that we can approximate that the temperature, 14 when the coffee was first removed as was about 195 degrees.
