Question

Freddie is carrying out an experiment for which he has to maintain a water bath at a temperature of 37°C. He has a choice of four thermometers, all of which read from 0 to 100°C.Thermometer A is marked in 5°C intervals, B in 1°C intervals, C in 10°C intervals and D in 20°C intervals. Which thermometer should Freddie choose to monitor the water bath's temperature?

B

D

A

C


​

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

because 37 does not end with 5 or 0, so it'd be harder to see if the water temperature is accurate if your thermometer goes up by 5s or 10s. And using D, the one that goes up by 20s is out of the question, it'd be too difficult to read. Using a thermometer that goes up by 1s is just best because you can be positive when the water is at 37°C
