Question

On a temperature scale ' X '. The boiling point of water is 6 5 ∘ X and the freezing point is − 1 5 ∘ X . Assume that the X scale is linear. The equivalent temperature corresponding to − 9 5 ∘ X on the Farenheit scale would be:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Boiling point of water, = UFP 6 5 ∘ Freezing point of water, = LFP − 1 5 ∘ UFP − LFP X − LFP ​ = 212 − 32 T F ​ − 32 ​ ⇒ 65 − ( − 15 ) − 95 − ( − 15 ) ​ = 180 T F ​ − 32 ​ ⇒ 80 − 80 ​ = 180 T F ​ − 32 ​ ⇒ T F ​ = − 180 + 32 ⇒ T F ​ = − 14 8 ∘ F
