Question

A Fahrenheit thermometer registers 110° while a faulty Celsius thermometer registers 44° . Find the error in the latter. (A) 0.667° C (B) 0.72° C (C) 1.2° C (D) 7.2° C

The conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is ( C /5)=(( F -32)/9) Using this, the 110° F =43.33° C. So the error in the Celsius thermometer which registers 44° C is =0.667° C.

Q. A Fahrenheit thermometer registers $11 0^{\circ}$ while a faulty Celsius thermometer registers $4 4^{\circ}$ . Find the error in the latter.

$0.66 7^{\circ} C$

$0.7 2^{\circ} C$

$1. 2^{\circ} C$

$7. 2^{\circ} C$

The conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is
$< b r / > \frac{C}{5} = \frac{( F - 32 )}{9} < b r / >$
Using this, the $11 0^{\circ} F = 43.3 3^{\circ} C$ .
So the error in the Celsius thermometer which registers $4 4^{\circ} C$ is $= 0.66 7^{\circ} C$ .
