At 10:30 AM, detectives discover a dead body in a room and measure its temperature at 27°C. One hour later, the body's temperature had dropped to 24.8°C. Determine how many hours had passed since the death occured (when the body temperature was a normal 37°C), by the time the body was discovered, assuming that the temperature in the room was held constant at 14°C. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place. Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than three decimal places.) the number of hours:

Bob heats up a bottle of milk for his baby, Jill, every morning. Jill will only drink the bottle if it is at 98 degrees. So Bob places the bottle in a cup of hot water (170 degrees). The bottle starts off at 35 degrees. After 2 minutes the bottle is 80 degrees. Use Newton's heating-cooling law, that the rate of change in the temperature, H, is proportional to the difference between the object and the surrounding temperature, to determine how long Bob should leave the bottle in the hot water. Assume that the water stays at 170 degrees.

3.1 Aliens from the planet Jeenkah have based their temperature scale on the freezing and boiling temperatures of ethyl alcohol. These temperatures (in degrees Celsius) are -114°C and 78°C, respectively. The Aliens choose °J as their temperature unit, and decided to allocate 144°J to the temperature difference between the freezing and boiling points of ethyl alcohol and to let 0°J be the freezing point of ethyl alcohol. A healthy person has an oral temperature of 37°C. What would this temperature be on the planet Jeenkah in °J.
