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.

Negative 1 Celsius is warmer, or you might say, less cold!
How are logarithms used in our society?
Many scales such as sound and PH are log scales. The scale used to measure earthquakes is also a log scale. Whenever the data has a very wide range, a log scale might help.

What are two scales to measure the temperature of liquid?
Two common scales to measure the temperature of liquids are Celsius and Fahrenheit.

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.
