Question

the passage below describes an experiment. matt bought ten pints of freshly - picked raspberries. he dipped 25 berries from each pint into 65°f water for 30 seconds. he dipped another 25 berries from each pint into 125°f water for 30 seconds. then, matt air - dried all the berries for one hour and placed them in the refrigerator, keeping the two groups of berries separate. after three days, matt counted the number of moldy berries. identify the question that the experiment can best answer. do raspberries dipped in 125°f water contain more juice than raspberries dipped in 65°f water? do fewer raspberries get moldy if they are dipped in 125°f or in 65°f water before storage?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the variables

Independent - water temperature (65°F and 125°F), Dependent - amount of juice in raspberries.

Step2: Determine the question

The experiment aims to compare juice - content based on water - dip temperature.

Answer:

Do raspberries dipped in 125°F water contain more juice than raspberries dipped in 65°F water?
