Question

a centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. the water temperature is lowered until fahrenheit thermometer registers 140 degree what is the fall in temperature as registered by centigrade thermometer​

Answer 1

The formula that works for converting Fahrenheit into Celsius or centigrade is subtracting 32 from Fahrenheit, and then multiplying it by 5. Finally dividing that number by 9.

Here is the formula and how it works –

The Fahrenheit temperature is 140, so we subtract 32 from this number. We now have 140 -32 = 108

Now we multiply this number by 5 therefore – 108*5 = 540

Finally, we divide this number by 9, again – 540/9 = 60.

The answer is 60 degrees centigrade.

Answer 2

Answer: 60°

Explanation:

(F-32) × 5/9

= (140-32) × 5/9

= 108×5/9

= 60°
