The table shows the same data about how the temperature of each pizza changed over 15minutes.

Question

Pizza Initial temperature (°C) Final temperature (°C)
Pizza on the bottom 85 68
Pizza on the top 85 61
Which statement is correct?

Answer 1

To analyze the temperature change of each pizza, we can determine the temperature drop for each one over the 15 minutes.

1. Pizza on the Bottom:

   • Initial temperature: 85°C
   • Final temperature: 68°C
   • Temperature drop: 85°C - 68°C = 17°C

2. Pizza on the Top:

   • Initial temperature: 85°C
   • Final temperature: 61°C
   • Temperature drop: 85°C - 61°C = 24°C

Conclusion: The pizza on the top experienced a greater temperature drop (24°C) compared to the pizza on the bottom (17°C). Therefore, the statement that is correct is that the pizza on the top cooled more than the pizza on the bottom during the 15 minutes.
