Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the length each increase of 4 degrees Celsius is given by:

B.) 1/2 minute

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Looking at the graph, the increase is of 16 degrees in 2 minutes, hence the rate is given by:

r = 16/2 = 8 degrees per minute.

For 8 degrees, the time is given by:

t = 4/8= 1/2 minute, hence option B is correct.
