To find the correct temperatures, we need to look at each thermometer carefully.
How to read these thermometers:
1.
Find the scale: Look at the numbers on the side. The lines usually go up by 2s (0, 2, 4, 6...) or 10s (0, 10, 20...).
2.
Read the red line: See where the top of the red liquid stops.
3.
Check the unit: Look for the letter next to the number.
°C is Celsius and
°F is Fahrenheit. Make sure you write the answer in the unit asked for in the blank space below the thermometer.
Here is the step-by-step solution for each row:
Row 1:
*
Left Thermometer: The red line is two marks above 40 on the Fahrenheit (right) scale. Since the marks go by 2s, that is
42. The blank asks for
°F.
* Answer:
42 °F
*
Middle Thermometer: The red line is below zero. It is four marks below 0 on the Celsius (left) scale. That is
-4. The blank asks for
°C.
* Answer:
-4 °C
*
Right Thermometer: The red line is exactly on the line for 90 on the Fahrenheit (right) scale. The blank asks for
°F.
* Answer:
90 °F
Row 2:
*
Left Thermometer: The red line is below zero. It is six marks below 0 on the Celsius (left) scale. That is
-6. The blank asks for
°C.
* Answer:
-6 °C
*
Middle Thermometer: The red line is on the line for 50 on the Celsius (left) scale. The blank asks for
°C.
* Answer:
50 °C
*
Right Thermometer: The red line is on the line for 100 on the Fahrenheit (right) scale. The blank asks for
°F.
* Answer:
100 °F
Row 3:
*
Left Thermometer: The red line is on the line for 80 on the Fahrenheit (right) scale. The blank asks for
°F.
* Answer:
80 °F
*
Middle Thermometer: The red line is on the line for 20 on the Fahrenheit (right) scale. The blank asks for
°F.
* Answer:
20 °F
*
Right Thermometer: The red line is on the line for 30 on the Celsius (left) scale. The blank asks for
°C.
* Answer:
30 °C
Final Answer:
Row 1: 42 °F, -4 °C, 90 °F
Row 2: -6 °C, 50 °C, 100 °F
Row 3: 80 °F, 20 °F, 30 °C
