5. At 8.20 on a Wednesday morning Mr Thomas makes a cup of coffee. The coffee is initially
90 C and 8 mins later is ideal for drinking at 58 C. However, Mr Thomas gets caught up
with a fiendishly challenging differential equation and at the end of the lesson at 9.20 he
gets to drink his coffee. What temperature will it be then? You can assume the ambient
temperature is 20 C. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
