Step 1 :Solve for \(t\) when \(c(t) = 70\): \(-0.01t^3 + 75 = 70\) which simplifies to \(-0.01t^3 = -5\). Solving for \(t\) gives \(t = (500)^{1/3}\) which is approximately \(7.94\) minutes.
Step 2 :Solve for \(t\) when \(c(t) = 50\): \(-0.01t^3 + 75 = 50\) which simplifies to \(-0.01t^3 = -25\). Solving for \(t\) gives \(t = (2500)^{1/3}\) which is approximately \(13.57\) minutes.
Step 3 :Subtract the time it takes for the coffee to cool to 70°C from the time it takes to cool to 50°C: \(13.57 - 7.94 = 5.63\) minutes.
Step 4 :\(\boxed{5.63}\) minutes is the time it takes for the temperature of the coffee to decrease from 70°C to 50°C.
