1. each line represents __ the temperature is __
2. each line represents __ the temperature is __
3. each line represents __ the temperature is __
4. each line represents __ the temperature is __
5. each line represents __ the temperature is __
6. each line represents __ the temperature is __
7. each line represents __ the temperature is __
8. each line represents __ the temperature is __
9. each line represents __ the temperature is __

Explanation:

Step1: Identify scale intervals

For each thermometer, first determine the value represented by each line (scale - interval). Then read the temperature at the level of the liquid - column.

Step2: Case 1

For the first thermometer, if we assume the range between 40 and 50 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 2°C. The liquid - column is at 46°C.

Step3: Case 2

For the second thermometer, if the range between - 10 and 0 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 2°C. The liquid - column is at - 4°C.

Step4: Case 3

For the third thermometer, if the range between 0 and 10 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 2°C. The liquid - column is at 6°C.

Step5: Case 4

For the fourth thermometer, if the range between - 10 and 0 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 2°C. The liquid - column is at - 2°C.

Step6: Case 5

For the fifth thermometer, if the range between 25 and 30 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 1°C. The liquid - column is at 28°C.

Step7: Case 6

For the sixth thermometer, if the range between 0 and 20 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 4°C. The liquid - column is at 16°C.

Step8: Case 7

For the seventh thermometer, if the range between 0 and 20 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 4°C. The liquid - column is at 8°C.

Step9: Case 8

For the eighth thermometer, if the range between - 10 and 0 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 2°C. The liquid - column is at - 8°C.

Step10: Case 9

For the ninth thermometer, if the range between 20 and 30 is divided into 5 equal parts, each line represents 2°C. The liquid - column is at 24°C.

Answer:

1. Each line represents 2°C, the temperature is 46°C
2. Each line represents 2°C, the temperature is - 4°C
3. Each line represents 2°C, the temperature is 6°C
4. Each line represents 2°C, the temperature is - 2°C
5. Each line represents 1°C, the temperature is 28°C
6. Each line represents 4°C, the temperature is 16°C
7. Each line represents 4°C, the temperature is 8°C
8. Each line represents 2°C, the temperature is - 8°C
9. Each line represents 2°C, the temperature is 24°C
