Question

what temperature does this thermometer show? this thermometer shows degrees celsius.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the scale interval

Each large division is \(1\) degree Celsius, and each small division is \(0.2\) degree Celsius.

Step2: Locate the liquid level

The liquid level is \(3\) small - divisions below \(- 3\).
Since each small division is \(0.2\), the value below \(-3\) is \(3\times0.2 = 0.6\). So the temperature is \(-3 - 0.6=-3.6\)

Answer:

\(-3.6\)
