Answer :
The air conditioner cools the room by 5°C each minute, and after 5 minutes, the temperature drops from 37°C to 12°C.
The temperature of the room initially is 37°C. With the air conditioner cooling the room at a rate of 5°C/min, after 5 minutes, the total temperature decrease would be 5 minutes × 5°C/min = 25°C.
To find the new temperature of the room after 5 minutes, we subtract the total temperature decrease from the initial temperature:
37°C - 25°C = 12°C.
So, the temperature of the room after 5 minutes of running the air conditioner will be 12°C.
