Let's solve the problem step by step.
We are given four thermometers, each showing a temperature in both Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C). We need to
read the temperature on each thermometer and fill in the correct values in °C and °F for each.
---
🔹 Thermometer 1 (Top Left)
- The red mercury column is at
40°F.
- On the Celsius side, it’s at
4°C.
✔ So:
-
°C: 4
-
°F: 40
---
🔹 Thermometer 2 (Top Right)
- The red mercury column is at
90°F.
- On the Celsius side, it’s at
32°C.
✔ So:
-
°C: 32
-
°F: 90
> Note: 90°F ≈ 32.2°C — but since the scale shows exactly 32°C, we go with that.
---
🔹 Thermometer 3 (Bottom Left)
- The red mercury column is at
75°F.
- On the Celsius side, it’s between 20 and 30, closer to 20 — specifically
24°C.
✔ So:
-
°C: 24
-
°F: 75
> Check: (75 - 32) × 5/9 = 43 × 5/9 ≈ 23.9 → rounds to
24°C, so correct.
---
🔹 Thermometer 4 (Bottom Right)
- The red mercury column is at
60°F.
- On the Celsius side, it’s at
15°C.
✔ So:
-
°C: 15
-
°F: 60
> Check: (60 - 32) × 5/9 = 28 × 5/9 ≈ 15.6 → but the scale shows
15°C, so likely rounded or marked as such.
Wait — let's double-check the markings.
Looking closely:
On the
bottom-right thermometer, the red line is
at the 60°F mark, and on the Celsius side, it’s
just below 15°C?
Wait — actually, looking carefully:
- The
Celsius scale goes from -20 to 40 in increments of 10.
- Between 10 and 20, there are 10 small divisions → each is 1°C.
- The red line is
on the 15°C mark.
So yes,
15°C.
And
60°F corresponds to approximately 15.6°C — but here, it's aligned with
15°C, which suggests either rounding or the scale is approximate.
But based on the
visual alignment, the red line is
exactly at 15°C, and
60°F.
So we take:
-
°C: 15
-
°F: 60

✔ Final Answers:
| Thermometer | °C | °F |
|------------|----|----|
| Top Left | 4 | 40 |
| Top Right | 32 | 90 |
| Bottom Left| 24 | 75 |
| Bottom Right| 15 | 60 |
