Step-by-step solution for: Thermometers and Temperature Conversion - Worksheet (Printable) worksheets library
It seems you've uploaded an image containing a series of multiple-choice questions related to temperature scales, freezing and boiling points, and conversions between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Below, I will solve each problem step by step and explain the solution.
---
#### Solution:
1. The freezing point of water on the Celsius scale is 0°C.
2. The boiling point of water on the Celsius scale is 100°C.
3. The difference between these two temperatures is:
\[
100^\circ\text{C} - 0^\circ\text{C} = 100^\circ\text{C}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{100^\circ\text{C}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
This question appears incomplete because it does not provide options for comparison. However, if we assume the question is asking for the equivalent temperature in another scale (e.g., Fahrenheit), we can convert \(85^\circ\) Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula:
\[
F = \left( C \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32
\]
where \(C\) is the temperature in Celsius and \(F\) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Substitute \(C = 85\):
\[
F = \left( 85 \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32
\]
\[
F = (85 \times 1.8) + 32
\]
\[
F = 153 + 32 = 185
\]
So, \(85^\circ\) Celsius is equivalent to \(185^\circ\) Fahrenheit.
#### Answer:
If the options were provided, the correct answer would be the one corresponding to \(185^\circ\) Fahrenheit. Since no options are given, the conversion result is:
\[
\boxed{185^\circ\text{F}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula:
\[
C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32)
\]
where \(F\) is the temperature in Fahrenheit and \(C\) is the temperature in Celsius.
Substitute \(F = 77\):
\[
C = \frac{5}{9} \times (77 - 32)
\]
\[
C = \frac{5}{9} \times 45
\]
\[
C = 5 \times 5 = 25
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{25^\circ\text{C}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula:
\[
F = \left( C \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32
\]
where \(C\) is the temperature in Celsius and \(F\) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Substitute \(C = 30\):
\[
F = \left( 30 \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32
\]
\[
F = (30 \times 1.8) + 32
\]
\[
F = 54 + 32 = 86
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{86^\circ\text{F}}
\]
