Question

Space invaders land on earth. On the invaders temperature scale, the ice point is at 32*I (*= degrees) (I=invader temp), and the steam point is at 320*I. The invaders thermometer shows the air temperature on earth to be 82.11*I. What would this temperature be on the Celsius scale?

Answer 1

Answer:

17.39°C

Explanation:

First, we need to subtract the ice point from the steam point as follows

320*I - 32*I = 288*I

Then, 288 *I is equivalent to 100°C. Now, to convert 82.11*I to °C, we first need to subtract 32*I

82.11*I - 32*I = 50.11*I

Then, we can use the equivalence to convert to °C as follows

50.11*I x 100°C / 288*I = 17.39°C

Therefore, the temperature on the Celsius scale is 17.39°C
