A Celsius thermometer reads the temperature of boiling water 100 degree e Celsius if you pet a foreign height thermometer, what will be its reading?
Answers
Question - A Celsius thermometer reads the temperature of boiling water 100 degree e Celsius. If you use a Fahrenheit thermometer, what will be its reading?
Given - Temperature on Celsius scale - 100° C
Find - Temperature of 100° C on Fahrenheit scale.
Solution - To convert reading on Celsius scale to Fahrenheit, the formula used is - Temperature in °C * (9/5) + 32.
Keeping the value in formula -
Temperature in Fahrenheit will be- (100*9)/5+32
Temperature in Fahrenheit - (900/5)+32
Temperature in Fahrenheit - 180+32
Temperature in Fahrenheit - 212° F
Hence, 100° C on Fahrenheit scale will be 212° F
Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion
Given :-
Reading of Celsius thermometer = 100°C
To Find :-
Fahrenheit conversion for the given value in Celsius
Solution :-
We know that the formula used for C-F conversion is :-
Temp. in F = (Temp. in C × 9/5) + 32
Substitute the given Celsius reading of the thermometer in the given formula.
F = (100 × 9/5) + 32
F = (20 × 9) + 32
F = 180 + 32
F = 212
Hence, the temperature of boiling water, which is 100°C on a Celsius Thermometer, will be 212°F on a Fahrenheit Thermometer.
