Thermometers X and Y have ice points at 1 5 ∘ and 2 5 ∘ , and steam points at 7 5 ∘ and 12 5 ∘ , respectively. Thermometer X reads 6 0 ∘ in a bath. What will Y read in the same bath?

At X reading 60 75 − 15 60 − 15 = 125 − 25 Y − 25 Y = 100 ∘ Y

Thermometers $X$ and $Y$ have ice points at $1 5^{\circ}$ and $2 5^{\circ}$ , and steam points at $7 5^{\circ}$ and $12 5^{\circ}$ , respectively. Thermometer $X$ reads $6 0^{\circ}$ in a bath. What will $Y$ read in the same bath?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

At X reading $60$
$\frac{60 - 15}{75 - 15} = \frac{Y - 25}{125 - 25}$
$Y = 100^{\circ} Y$
