According to Mug & Bean barista, the optimum temperature to serve coffee is between 1550? and1750?. Suppose coffee is poured at a temperature of 2000?, and after 2 minutes in a 700? room it has cooled to1800?. When is the coffee first cooled enough to serve? When is the coffee too cold to serve? Round your answer to the nearest half minute.    

Expert Solution
Step 1

Note;- For this problem the temperature is not mentioned clearly with units. So, i assumed the temperature in Celsius. If the unit is different then you can resubmit the problem with mentioning the unit. Thank you

 

Let the temperature of coffee say C depends on time t.

Given information

the optimum temperature to serve coffee is between 1550 and 1750.

The coffee is poured at a temperature of 2000 that is, when time t is zero then C0 =2000.

After 2 minutes in a 700 room it has cooled to 1800 that is, when time t=2 then C2 =1800
