Solve problems related to

conversion of scales.

S.L.O # 9.3
Convert the temperature given in the
Celsius scale to the Fahrenheit scale:

• (i) 25° C
• (ii) 45° C
• (iii) 0° C
• (iv) 20° C
• (v) 90° C
• (vi) 40.3° C
• (vii) 65° C
Convert the temperature given in the
Fahrenheit scale to the Celsius scale:

• (i) 102° F
• (ii) 37° F
• (iii) 200° F
• (iv) 175° F
• (v) 185° F
• (vi) 158° F
Convert the temperature given in the
Kelvin scale to the Celsius scale:

• 100k
• 230k
• 12k
• 345k
• One day the minimum temperature in Chitral
was recorded as 80.6° F. What was the
temperature in degree Celsius of Chitral on
that day?

• In the month June, on one day the maximum


temperature in Gilgit was recorded as 42.4° C.
Convert it into degree Fahrenheit
• How do we figure out the scale? Making a Celsius (centigrade)
thermometer is easy, because it's based on the temperatures of ice
and boiling water.
• These are called the two fixed points. We know ice has a temperature
close to 0°C while water boils at 100°C.
• If we dip our thermometer in some ice, we can observe where the
mercury level comes to and mark the lowest point on our scale, which
will be roughly 0°C.
• Similarly, if we dip the thermometer in boiling water, we can wait for
the mercury to rise up and then make a mark equivalent to 100°C.
• All we have to do then is divide the scale between these two fixed
points into 100 equal steps ("centi-grade" means 100 divisions) and,
hey presto, we have a working thermometer!
