Ethan left a cup of hot chocolate in a cool room. His mother tells him that his hot chocolate will get cold if he forgets to drink it.
How cold could it get?
Colder than the temperature of the room. It will keep cooling down for as long as he leaves it in the room.
Only as cold as the temperature of the room. It will stop cooling down when it is exactly the same temperature as the room.
Only a little colder. It started out much hotter, so it will stop cooling down before it reaches the same temperature of the room.
