Question

making measurements
thermometer
the calibration of this thermometer is to a single unit, 1 °c, requiring the measurement to be recorded to the tenths place (0.1 °c).
look closely at the following thermometer and use it to answer the question.
how should you record the temperature measurement for this thermometer?
options: 25 °c, 25.0 °c, 24 °c, 24.0 °c

Explanation:

The thermometer's calibration is to 1 °C, so measurements must be recorded to the tenths place (0.1 °C). Looking at the thermometer, the liquid level aligns with 24.0 °C (since we need to include the tenths place, and the reading here is 24.0 when considering the calibration precision).

Answer:

D. 24.0°C
