Explanation:
I wouldn't necessarily call this a chemistry-related question, but it doesn't matter, I'll help.
The average rate of change of temperature with respect to time in this case can be represented by the equation
where
and
The total change in temperature over the time period is
and the total time change is
Plugging values into the equation, we have
