Question

 If the ice-point and the steam-point temperatures on an unknown scale X are 50°X and 200°X, respectively, then what is the reading in °X for a temperature of 60°C?​

Answer 1

Answer:

140 degree X is the reading in °X for a temperature of 60°C

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the temperature scale is always linear scale

So we can compare two scales with the linear variation

\frac{T - 0}{100 - 0} = \frac{T_X - 50}{200 - 50}100−0T−0=200−50TX−50

now we have

\frac{T}{100} = \frac{T_X - 50}{150}100T=150TX−50

now we know in degree Celcius the temperature is given as

T = 60 ^oCT=60oC

so we have

\frac{60}{100} = \frac{T_X - 50}{150}10060=150TX−50

T_X = 140 ^oXTX=140oX
