Waec Model Questions Vol1 2018 Agricultural Science Question 20
Practice objective / multiple choice question 20 from the 2018 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
Tomatoes stored in a sealed container lose weight due to respiration. At 25 °C the respiration rate is 0.8 % of the initial weight per day. For each 5 °C decrease in temperature, the respiration rate is reduced by 40 % (i.e., multiplied by 0.6). The farmer wishes the total weight loss over 12 days to be no more than 5 % of the initial weight. What is the highest storage temperature (in °C) that satisfies this condition? Assume the temperature can only be set at 5 °C intervals (25 °C, 20 °C, 15 °C, …).
