Wait, shouldn't the solution to a) be dT/dt =k(T-5) not dt/dT =k(T-5)?

no, Newton's Law of Cooling states the rate of change of temperature is proportional to the temperature difference, hence the rate is dT/dt, how temperature changes as time changes.

The inverse, dt/dT is how time changes as temperature changes, which doesn't really make much sense.

ummmm isnt that what daniel was saying????
