Answer:
The amount of potassium chloride that can dissolve in water increases by 0.3 grams for every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature.
Explanation:
Given
[tex]A = 27 + 0.3C[/tex]
Required
Interpret 0.3
We make use of the following illustration to answer this question.
Let C = 1
[tex]A = 27 + 0.3*1 = 27 + 0.3 = 27.3[/tex]
Let C =2
[tex]A = 27 + 0.3*2 = 27 + 0.6 = 27.6[/tex]
Let C = 3
[tex]A = 27 + 0.3*3 = 27 + 0.9 = 27.9[/tex]
Notice that when the values of C increases by 1(i.e. from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3), the values of A increases by 0.3
i.e.
[tex]27.9 - 27.6 = 27.6 - 27.3 = 0.3[/tex]
Hence, option D is true
