Answer:

[tex]2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex][n][/tex] denote the area of some polygon [tex]n[/tex].

The sum of the area of quadrilaterals BCDE and MNDE is equal to [tex][ABC]-([MBE]+[NDC]+AMN])[/tex] (big triangle subtracting the three smaller triangles that aren't part of BCDE or MNDE).

Let the area of triangle ABC be [tex]\alpha[/tex].

Triangle AMN is similar to triangle ABC. Because their side lengths are in ratio 1:2 respectively, the ratio of the area of triangle AMN to triangle ABC is [tex]1:2^2=1:4[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]\displaystyle [AMN]=\frac{1}{4}[ABC]=\frac{1}{4}\alpha[/tex].

Now for triangle NDC, NDC is similar to triangle AMC. Since M is the midpoint of AB, AMC is half the area of ABC. The ratio of the side lengths between triangle NDC and triangle AMC is [tex]1:2[/tex] because the D is the midpoint of MC, so it follows the ratio of their areas must be [tex]1:4[/tex], respectively.

Therefore, [tex]\displaystyle[NDC]=\frac{1}{4}[AMC]=\frac{1}{8}[ABC]=\frac{1}{8}\alpha[/tex].

We can use the same concept for triangle MEB. Triangle MEB is similar to triangle ANB, and the ratio of their sides is also [tex]1:2[/tex], since E is the midpoint of BN. Their areas are in the ratio [tex]1:2^2=1:4[/tex] and we have [tex]\displaystyle [MBE]=\frac{1}{4}[ANB]=\frac{1}{8}\alpha[/tex].

Thus,

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{[ABC]}{[BCDE]+[MNDE]}=\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-\frac{1}{4}\alpha-\frac{1}{8}\alpha-\frac{1}{8}\alpha}=\frac{\alpha}{0.5\alpha}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=\boxed{2}[/tex]

According to Newton's Law of Cooling, the temperature T(t) of a hot object, at time t after being placed in an environment with a constant temperature C, is given by T(t)=C+(To-C)e^-kt, where To is the temperature of the object at time t = 0 and k is a constant that depends on the object. If a hot cup of coffee, initially at 190°F, cools to 125°F in 5 minutes when placed in a room with a constant temperature 75°F, how long will it take for the coffee to reach 100°F?​
