An apple pie is taken out of the oven with an internal temperature of 325 degrees F. It's placed on a rack in a room with a temperature of 72 degrees F. After 10 minutes, the temperature of the pie is 200 degrees F. What will be the temperature of the pie 30 minutes after coming out of the oven?

so the answer that Yunuzaj put is correct to account for the room tempurature you would have to find some complicated equation to solve this but you could assume that the tempurature rate would slow down as it gets closser to room tempurature
if you didn't have to account for the room tempurature the ending tempurature would be -50 degrees F because 325-200=125 so 125=10 10 times 3=30 so 125 times 3=375 325-375=-50F

In 10 minutes the pie dropped 125 degrees, so we can assume in another 10 minutes it will drop another 125 degrees, and in another 10 minutes 125 degrees, but this brings us down to zero degrees. But it says it's kept at 72 degrees. So we can assume the pie will remain at 72 degrees

Using Newton's Law of Cooling, we can predict the temperature of the apple pie after 30 minutes. By calculating the cooling constant and applying it to the temperature formula, we find the pie's temperature to be approximately 144.18°F. This method helps understand the heat transfer processes involving temperature change over time.
