SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

The rate at which Shelley's tea is cooling down is $ \frac{1}{2} $ degree per 10 seconds. To find the rate per second, divide $ \frac{1}{2} $ by 10:

\[ \frac{1}{2} \div 10 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{20} \]

So, the rate is $ \frac{1}{20} $ degrees per second.
