A faulty linear Fahrenheit thermometer reads 30°F at the ice point and 214°F at the steam point. At what true Fahrenheit temperature does it read correctly?

Answer:

122

Solution:

Let its indicated and true readings both be $F$ .

$\frac{( F - 30 )}{184} = \frac{( F - 32 )}{180} . 180 F - 5400 = 184 F - 5888. F = 12 2^{\circ} F .$
