The ratio between two sets of measurements?
Could be the conversion factor - but only if the two sets of measurements are on scales that are linear AND absolute.
What is a temperature scale with 100 between the freezing and boiling of water?
That's both the "Celsius" and the "Kelvin" scales.
What is Fraction of difference between two fixed temperatures?
The normal scales in which temperature is measured - Fahrenheit or Celsius - are interval scales but not ratio scales. This is because the 0 points are arbitrary. As a consequence, the difference between two fixed temperature cannot be expressed as a fraction.For example 10 deg C is NOT 10 times as warm as 1 deg C.
At what temperature do the Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same numerical value?
At any point in the Celsius scale, the difference between degrees Celsius and degrees Kelvin is 273.15. At no point do the two scales cross.
How do you prove that the common temperature of 255.37 degrees F and Kelvin scales are equal?
You can't, because they aren't. The Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales match at exactly 574.5875 degrees. 255.37 Kelvin is equivalent to 0oF.To prove or disprove an equivalent, cite the conversion equation which in the Fahrenheit/Kelvin case is:= = [°F] = [K] × 9⁄5 − 459.67
