Question

what temperature is shown on the thermometer? thermometer image options: 71° celsius, 71° fahrenheit, 70° celsius, 70° fahrenheit

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the scale

The thermometer is marked with \(^\circ\text{F}\), so it measures Fahrenheit.

Step2: Read the temperature

The pointer is at the mark between 70 and 80, closer to 70 but the options have 71°F. Also, 71°C is too hot (as 71°C is about 160°F), so the correct unit is Fahrenheit and the value is 71.

Answer:

B. 71° Fahrenheit (assuming the options are labeled as A: 71° Celsius, B: 71° Fahrenheit, C: 70° Celsius, D: 70° Fahrenheit)
