Which of the following temperatures will read the same value on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a. -400 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

b. +400 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

c. -800 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

d. -200<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is d. -200<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To find the temperature that reads the same value on both the Celsius (\u00b0C) and Fahrenheit (\u00b0F) scales, you need to solve the equation where the temperature in Celsius equals the temperature in Fahrenheit: C=FC = F<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is: F=95C+32F = \\frac{9}{5}C + 32<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we want C=FC = F, substitute FF with CC: C=95C+32C = \\frac{9}{5}C + 32<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, solve for CC: C\u221295C=32C – \\frac{9}{5}C = 32 (1\u221295)C=32\\left(1 – \\frac{9}{5}\\right)C = 32 (55\u221295)C=32\\left(\\frac{5}{5} – \\frac{9}{5}\\right)C = 32 (\u221245)C=32\\left(\\frac{-4}{5}\\right)C = 32<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiply both sides by \u221254-\\frac{5}{4}: C=32\u00d7(\u221254)C = 32 \\times \\left(-\\frac{5}{4}\\right) C=\u221240C = -40<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the temperature at which Celsius and Fahrenheit scales read the same is \u221240\u2218-40^\\circ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the options, none exactly say \u221240-40. So, the question might have a typo or the closest is option d. -200<\/strong> (assuming a mistake).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the question meant to say \u221240-40 or a similar number, the known exact point is \u221240-40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the question is testing understanding, the correct temperature is \u221240\u2218-40^\\circ, not any of the options given exactly. None of the options a, b, c, or d are correct, but the correct numerical answer is \u221240\u2218-40^\\circ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The temperature where Celsius equals Fahrenheit is \u221240\u2218-40^\\circ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • This is derived by solving C=95C+32C = \\frac{9}{5}C + 32.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • None of the provided options match \u221240\u2218-40^\\circ, so the exact answer is not listed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If forced to choose from options, none are correct, but the known scientific fact is \u221240-40.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
