Question

nohas oven temperature gives a reading that is 2% greater than the actual temperature 9f the acutal temperature was 325°F what would the termometer reading be.

Answer 1

Answer: 331.5° F

Explanation:

Since, According to the question,

Reading on the thermometer = Actual temperature + 2% of actual temperature

⇒ Reading on the thermometer = Actual temperature 0.02 of the actual temperature (Since, 2 % = 2/100 = 0.02)

⇒ Reading on the thermometer = 1.02 of the actual temperature

Here the actual temperature = 325° F

Reading on the thermometer = 1.02 of 325° = 1.02 × 325°= 331°
