If a thermometer reads 73 degrees Fahrenheit what is it in celsius?
73 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately equal to 22.8 degrees Celsius.
What thermometer is based on the metric system?
That depends on what units the thermometer is calibrated in. The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, but degrees Celsius commonly used, if the thermometer reads in kelvin or degrees Celsius then it is a metric tool.
How do you calibrate a thermometer into degrees Celsius?
To calibrate a thermometer into degrees Celsius, you can immerse it in a mixture of ice and water (0°C) and adjust the dial or settings until it reads 0°C. You can also use boiling water (100°C) to calibrate the high end. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for calibration if available.
Which thermometer would register a more accurate reading one with a maximum temperature of 110 degrees celsius or one that registers temperatures up to 300 degrees celsius?
A thermometer with a maximum temperature of 110 degrees Celsius would likely provide a more accurate reading within its specified range. Thermometers tend to be most accurate at the mid-point of their measurement range, so a thermometer designed for lower temperatures would likely be more precise in that range than one designed for higher temperatures.
Give an example of when you might measure the temperature uring the metric system?
There are many different occasions when a person would want to measure the temperature using the metric system. For example, if a friend from the UK wanted to know the temperature at one's house in Wisconsin, it would be polite to convert the temperature to Celsius so that it makes sense to one's friend.
