Answer :
Final answer:
After calculating, the change in temperature of the bottle after 3 minutes is found to be 28 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this answer does not match the provided options, suggesting an error or typo. The correct option is C.
Explanation:
The question asks for the change in temperature of the bottled drink after 3 minutes of being placed in a cooler. Originally, the bottled drink had a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. After 3 minutes, its temperature lowered to 42 degrees Fahrenheit. To find the change in temperature, we subtract the final temperature from the initial temperature:
70 degrees Fahrenheit (initial) - 42 degrees Fahrenheit (final) = 28 degrees Fahrenheit
However, since the options provided do not include 28 degrees Fahrenheit as an answer and the correct approach might have been to assess given options, it appears there might have been an error in constructing this response based on those options. Given the choices, none directly correlate to the calculated change of 28 degrees, suggesting a potential misunderstanding or typo in the original question or answer choices.
