Chapter 1, Problem 44E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether it is possible to measure the temperature between $234–240{}^{\circ }\text{F}$ with the provided thermometer having range $–10{}^{\circ }\text{C}$ to $110{}^{\circ }\text{C}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The relation between Celsius temperature and Fahrenheit temperature can be shown as:

${\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{o}}\text{F}}\text{= }\frac{\text{9}}{\text{5}}{\text{ T}}_{{}^{\text{o}}\text{C}}\text{+ 32}$

Here, ${\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{o}}\text{F}}$ is degree Fahrenheit temperature and ${\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{o}}\text{C}}$ is degree Celsius temperature.
