Question

identify the pair of numbers that represents the boiling point of water in degrees fahrenheit and the freezing point of water in degrees celsius.
212 degrees fahrenheit and 32 degrees celsius
32 degrees fahrenheit and 0 degrees celsius
100 degrees fahrenheit and 0 degrees celsius
212 degrees fahrenheit and 0 degrees celsius

Explanation:

We know the boiling point of water in Fahrenheit is 212°F and the freezing point of water in Celsius is 0°C. Let's check each option:

• First option: Freezing point in Celsius is wrong (should be 0, not 32).
• Second option: Boiling point in Fahrenheit is wrong (should be 212, not 32).
• Third option: Boiling point in Fahrenheit is wrong (should be 212, not 100).
• Fourth option: 212°F (boiling in F) and 0°C (freezing in C) matches.

Answer:

D. 212 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius (assuming the last option is D; if options are labeled differently, adjust the label but keep the numbers)
