I made up this math problem, how to solve? [I Love Math]

You can see next to my name I'm in my 30s so this isn't homework I'm just bored.

I am not great at math but trying to improve my skills, this happened earlier, how would I solve?


I wanted to cook microwave Salisbury Steak, and I live in a studio apartment. My air conditioner has been set to 70 degrees for the past few hours.

I put the steak in the microwave and microwaved for 7 minutes and flipped it half way per the instructions. The box says it needs to be 165 degrees. Then I took it out to cool, my microwave is 1400 watts and 7 minutes was the max time for a 1200 watt oven.

Then I got a work call and got sidetracked for 25 minutes. If I check the temperature with a thermometer, what reading should I get to know my food is properly cooked?

this feels kinda more like a physics problem. you need the rate of heat dissipation for the meat and what the final temp was, id say.
