Problem

Two identical cups of soup, each initially at 92∘C92^{\circ}\text{C}, are placed in different locations. Cup A cools in a room held at 22∘C22^{\circ}\text{C}, while Cup B cools in a hallway held at 18∘C18^{\circ}\text{C}. After 6 minutes, Cup A has cooled to 70∘C70^{\circ}\text{C}. Assuming both cups cool with the same proportionality constant, determine the temperature of Cup B (in °C) at the 6-minute mark.
