A cup of hot coffee is placed outside

where the temperature is 0 °C.  Assume

the coffee cools to approach the outside

temperature according to an exponential

decay model.  If the temperature in

degrees Celsius decreases by half every 34

minutes and the current temperature of the

coffee is 53.6 °C, what will the

temperature of the coffee be 7 minutes

from now?

Use the equation below to solve:

53.6*(1/2)^(7/34

46.5 degrees
