Yuliana Wiley · Answer 1

its D

Explanation:

the guy above is very correct and the thermometer is calibrated on it

Dennis Guerrero · Answer 2

d) may be any of these, depending on the temperature

Explanation:

Let at temperature t, reading of both Celsius and Fahrenheit scale be same

using the formula of conversion

(F - 32) / 9 = C / 5

(t - 32) / 9 = t / 5

5t - 160 = 9t

t = - 40° Celsius.

For temperature above it, reading of Fahrenheit scale will be more. For temperature below it Fahrenheit scale will show lesser reading than Celsius

reading.
