Explanation:
Given : -
- if a thermometer reads freezing point of water 10° .
- boiling point 140°,
To Find : -
- what will it read when actual temperature of water is 60°c
Solution : -
let x = reading of new thermometer ,
then,
➻ ( x - 10)/(140 - 10) = C/100
➻ (x -10)/13 = C/10
➻ ( x - 10)/13 = 60/10
➻ ( x - 10)/13 = 6
➻ x - 10 = 78
➻ x = 78 + 10
➻ x = 88
