Is it true that a ratio is a rate?
No. It can be but need not be. For example, you might calculate the ratio of today's temperature in Celsius and in Fahrenheit and calculate the ratio. That is not a rate.

What scale is used in thermometer?
Fahrenheit, Celsius or Centigrade, Kelvin, Rankine, Reaumur, and others. Fahrenheit scale says that 32o is the freezing point of water at 14 psi of air. Celsius/Centigrade, says that the freezing point of water is 0oat 14psi. Kelvin says that 0o is absolute zero; meaning that nothing can get colder than this: in Fahrenheit scale this temp. is 459o below zero. Most thermometers have both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales on them. Fahrenheit is marked with 'F' and Celsius is marked with 'C'. Also I might mention that Celsius is part of the metric system, and is used in most countries is the world. However, Fahrenheit is part of the English system, and is used still in the United States.

The temperature of a warm spring day might be 75 degrees fahrenheit What is that in celsius and kelvin?
To convert degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and then multiply by 5/9. To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. 15. Then 75 degrees Fahrenheit is 23. 9 degrees Celsius and 297 Kelvin.
