The temperature of a parked, closed car can reach up to 180oF. Computer chips - used in phones - can only operate at 110oF. Suppose a phone is left in a hot car for a long time, then removed and set in a 73oF classroom. After one minute, it is safe to touch (140oF). How many minutes will it take for the phone to be operable?
