Question
he chocolate artist creates a temperature-control pack to transport her chocolate. She tests the pack while transporting a chocolate sculpture on a very hot day. She finds that the temperature inside of the box is still within the desired range if the trip lasts only one hour. However, if the trip lasts for two hours, the temperature inside of the box is too hot. Which update to the design can the chocolate artist make for longer trips?
A.
She can make a larger temperature-control pack using less of the same chemical.
B.
She can make a smaller temperature-control pack using less of the same chemical.
C.
She can add a second temperature-control pack that is identical to the first pack to the box.
D.
She can add a second temperature-control pack with the coldest possible temperature to the box.
A.
She can make a larger temperature-control pack using less of the same chemical.
B.
She can make a smaller temperature-control pack using less of the same chemical.
C.
She can add a second temperature-control pack that is identical to the first pack to the box.
D.
She can add a second temperature-control pack with the coldest possible temperature to the box.

To ensure that the temperature inside the box remains within the desired range for longer trips, the chocolate artist needs to enhance the existing temperature-control capability. Here are the options analyzed:
A. **She can make a larger temperature-control pack using less of the same chemical.**
- This option doesn't seem effective because if she is using less of the same chemical, it may not adequately maintain the temperature, especially over a longer duration.
B. **She can make a smaller temperature-control pack using less of the same chemical.**
- This option is also likely ineffective since a smaller pack would mean less of the chemical to absorb or regulate heat, which could result in higher internal temperatures.
C. **She can add a second temperature-control pack that is identical to the first pack to the box.**
- This seems like a reasonable option. By adding a second identical pack, it could double the cooling capacity and help maintain the desired temperature for the longer duration of the trip.
D. **She can add a second temperature-control pack with the coldest possible temperature to the box.**
- While this might provide strong cooling, it’s unclear whether the "coldest possible temperature" pack is practical or safe for the chocolate, as extreme cold can also cause issues such as condensation, which could negatively affect the chocolate.
Based on the analysis, the best design update for longer trips would be:
**C. She can add a second temperature-control pack that is identical to the first pack to the box.**
