A thermometer is taken out of a room at 64 ° F, outside where the temperature is at 8 ° F. After 3/10 of a minute the thermometer reads 52 ° F. How many minutes of time will it take the thermometer to reach 10 ° F? They assume that the speed with which the temperature changes is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the thermometer and the constant temperature of the surrounding medium.
