The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the temperature in Fahrenheit when the temperature on the new scale is 45°C. The new scale has an ice point of 10°C and a steam point of 80°C. We will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given information:** - Ice point on the new scale = 10°C - Steam point on the new scale = 80°C - Temperature on the new scale (Tn) = 45°C 2. **Calculate the range of the new scale:** - Range = Steam point - Ice point = 80°C - 10°C = 70°C 3. **Determine the temperature per unit division for the new scale:** - The temperature change per unit division on the new scale is: \[ \text{Temperature per division} = \frac{\text{Range}}{\text{Number of divisions}} = \frac{70°C}{70} = 1°C \] 4. **Set up the relationship between the new scale and the Celsius scale:** - Let T be the temperature in Celsius. The relationship can be expressed as: \[ \frac{Tn - 10}{80 - 10} = \frac{T - 0}{100 - 0} \] - Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{45 - 10}{70} = \frac{T - 0}{100} \] - Simplifying the left side: \[ \frac{35}{70} = \frac{T}{100} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{T}{100} \] 5. **Solve for T (temperature in Celsius):** - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ T = 100 \times \frac{1}{2} = 50°C \] 6. **Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit:** - Use the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: \[ T_F = \frac{9}{5}T + 32 \] - Substituting T = 50°C: \[ T_F = \frac{9}{5} \times 50 + 32 \] - Calculating: \[ T_F = 90 + 32 = 122°F \] ### Final Answer: The temperature on the Fahrenheit scale when the temperature on the new scale is 45°C is **122°F**.
