Tina has a greenhouse in which she grows strawberries. The sprinkler system in the greenhouse sprays a fine mist to ensure the strawberries get enough water. The strawberries are watered for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes every day and the temperature in the greenhouse is kept constant at 25 °C. The clock below shows the time each morning when the sprinkler system is switched off

a) 9:11 am

b) 77°F

Step-by-step explanation:

a) From the clock shown in the image attached, we can see that the time that the sprinkler system is switched off is at 11:56 am. Since the strawberries are watered for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes every day, the time that the sprinkler is switched on can be gotten by subtracting 2 hours 45 minutes from 11:56 am. Hence:

Time sprinkler system is switched on = 11:56 am - 2 hours 45 minutes = 9:11 am

b) Temperature in °Farenheit = (1.8 * temperature in degree Celsius) + 32°

Temperature in °Farenheit = (1.8 * 25°) + 32° = 45° + 32°

Temperature in °Farenheit = 77°F
