Question

for problems 2 - 5, use the thermometer to the right.

1. each sentence is stated incorrectly. rewrite the sentence to correctly describe each situation.

a. the temperature is - 10 degrees fahrenheit below zero.
b. the temperature is - 22 degrees celsius below zero.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the thermometer scale

The Celsius scale on the thermometer shows values. The Fahrenheit scale also shows values.

Step2: Determine the correct temperature descriptions

For the Celsius part: The thermometer's Celsius side shows values. A negative Celsius value means below zero. But looking at the thermometer, the Celsius value is around \(48^{\circ}C\) (not - 22). For the Fahrenheit part: The Fahrenheit side of the thermometer shows around \(118^{\circ}F\) (not - 10).

Answer:

a. The temperature is \(118\) degrees Fahrenheit.
b. The temperature is \(48\) degrees Celsius.
