It's not clear to me. Does it mean that at actual 0° C the thermometer shows 26°C?
And when temperature is actually 100°C it shows 206°C??
Then 50°C reading means: (50 - 26)/(206-26) ×100 = 2400/180= 40/3 °C .
Then the temperature on Fahrenheit scale is: 40/3 × 9/5 + 32 = 56°F
And when temperature is actually 100°C it shows 206°C??
Then 50°C reading means: (50 - 26)/(206-26) ×100 = 2400/180= 40/3 °C .
Then the temperature on Fahrenheit scale is: 40/3 × 9/5 + 32 = 56°F
