The image shows two thermometers, each displaying a temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). Let's analyze each one:
---
Left Thermometer (Red):
- The scale goes from 0°C to 70°C.
- Each major mark represents 10°C, and there are smaller marks between them, indicating increments of 1°C.
- The red liquid rises to the level just
above 70°C, but not quite reaching the next mark. However, since it is
exactly at the 70°C mark, we can conclude:
-
Temperature = 70°C
> Note: The top of the red column aligns perfectly with the "70" label.
---
Right Thermometer (Green):
- The scale goes from 0°C to 30°C.
- Major marks are every 10°C (0, 10, 20, 30), with smaller divisions between them.
- The green liquid reaches
between 10°C and 20°C, specifically:
- It is
at the second small tick above 10°C.
- Since there are 10 small ticks between 10 and 20, each tick represents
1°C.
- So, starting from 10°C, the second tick is:
- 10 + 2 =
12°C
> Therefore,
Temperature = 12°C
---
✔ Final Answer:
-
Left thermometer: 70°C
-
Right thermometer: 12°C
