Question

If a thermometer reads freezing point of water as 20⁰C and boiling point as 150⁰C, how much thermometer read when the actual temperature is 60⁰C-

Answer 1

Temperature on any scale can be converted into other scale by $\frac{x - LFP}{UFP - LFP}$ = constant for all scales

$\frac{x - 20}{150 - 20}$ = $\frac{60}{100}$ Ž x = 98⁰C
