Answer:
there is an error of 0.5°F in Fahrenheit thermometer.
Explanation:
using formula: °C =(°F-32)/1.8 to convert Fahrenheit scale to centigrade scale.
substitute values of Fahrenheit scale
= °C =(141-32)/1.8
=°C = 60.5
therefore , error = calculated centigrade temperature - temperature recorded by centigrade thermometer
= 60.5-60
=0.5°c

Answer:
1F
c/5=f-32/9
here
celsius is equal to 60
60/5=f-32/9
f-32=108
f=32+108
f=140
final temperature given in question is 141 so
delta f=141-140
f=1
