On a temperature scale ' X '. The boiling point of water is 65^ X and the freezing point is -15^ X . Assume that the X scale is linear. The equivalent temperature corresponding to -95^ X on the Farenheit scale would be:
Options
- A-63^ F
- B-112^ F
- C-48^ F
- D-148^ F
Correct answer
D. -148^ F
Step-by-step solution
Boiling point of water, = UFP 65^ Freezing point of water, = LFP -15^ X - LFP UFP - LFP = T _ F -32 212-32 -95-(-15) 65-(-15) = T _ F -32 180 -80 80 = T_F-32 180 T_F=-180+32 T _ F =-148^ F
