Let's solve the temperature reading task shown in the image. We need to read each thermometer and write the temperature in either
°C or
°F, depending on what is asked.

🔹 Understanding the Thermometers
Each thermometer has:
- A Celsius (°C) scale on the left.
- A Fahrenheit (°F) scale on the right.
- The red column shows the current temperature.
We will read the temperature for each thermometer and fill in the blank accordingly.
---
🔸 Thermometer 1 (Top Left)
- Scale: °C on left, °F on right
- Red column reaches
-10°C
- Convert to °F: Use formula:
$$
°F = \frac{9}{5} \times °C + 32 = \frac{9}{5} \times (-10) + 32 = -18 + 32 = 14°F
$$
- But the question asks for
°F, so we write:
✔ 14°F
> Wait — but the label says "___ °F" — so we should use the
Fahrenheit scale directly.
Looking at the
Fahrenheit scale:
The red line is at
14°F → ✔️ Correct.
✔ Answer: 14°F
---
🔸 Thermometer 2 (Top Middle)
- Red column is at
-10°C
- Ask for
°C, so just read Celsius scale:
✔ -10°C
---
🔸 Thermometer 3 (Top Right)
- Red column is at
80°F
- Ask for
°F, so just read Fahrenheit:
✔ 80°F
---
🔸 Thermometer 4 (Middle Left)
- Red column is at
-20°C
- Ask for
°C:
✔ -20°C
---
🔸 Thermometer 5 (Middle Center)
- Red column is at
30°C
- Ask for
°C:
✔ 30°C
---
🔸 Thermometer 6 (Middle Right)
- Red column is at
100°F
- Ask for
°F:
✔ 100°F
---
🔸 Thermometer 7 (Bottom Left)
- Red column is at
20°C
- Ask for
°C:
✔ 20°C
---
🔸 Thermometer 8 (Bottom Center)
- Red column is at
-20°C
- Ask for
°C:
✔ -20°C
---
🔸 Thermometer 9 (Bottom Right)
- Red column is at
40°C
- Ask for
°C:
✔ 40°C
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Thermometer | Temperature |
|------------|-------------|
| 1 | 14°F |
| 2 | -10°C |
| 3 | 80°F |
| 4 | -20°C |
| 5 | 30°C |
| 6 | 100°F |
| 7 | 20°C |
| 8 | -20°C |
| 9 | 40°C |
