The freezing point of fresh water is ___________.

Suppose you come across old scientific notes that describe a temperature scale called Z on which the boiling point of water is 65.0^@Z and the freezing point is -14.0^@Z . To what temperature on the Fahrenheit scale would a temperature of T = - 98.0^@Z corresponds ? Assume that the Z scale is linear , that is , the size of a Z degree is the same every where on the Z scale.

The figure shows three temperature scales with the freezing and boiling points of water indicated. (a) Rank the size of a degree on these scales, greatest first. (b) Rank the following temperatures, highest first :50^(@)X,50^(@)W and 50^(@)Y .
