Question

dolbears law states the relationship between the rate at which snowy tree crickets chirp and the air temperature of their environment. the formula is t = 50+\frac{n - 40}{4}, where t is a temperature in degrees fahrenheit and n is a number of chirps per minute. if n = 98, find the temperature in degrees fahrenheit, t. t = \square (type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute N value into formula

Given $T = 50+\frac{N - 40}{4}$, substitute $N = 98$. So we get $T=50+\frac{98 - 40}{4}$.

Step2: Calculate the value in the fraction

First, calculate $98 - 40=58$. Then the formula becomes $T = 50+\frac{58}{4}$.

Step3: Simplify the fraction and find T

$\frac{58}{4}=14.5$. Then $T=50 + 14.5$.
$T = 64.5$.

Answer:

$64.5$
