Question

Which statement explains which thermometer is MORE appropriate to measure the temperature of a liquid at 43.6 degrees Celsius

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

According to the attached picture (which I'm assuming is the same that you have, but you forgot to attach) let's see wchi thermometer will help to measure the temperature of this liquid at 43.6 °C

In thermometer A, we can see that the the measures of temperatures are measured to the tenth digit. This means that the measures would be more accurate, and this is precisaly what we want in this case, because the temperature we need to measure is 43.6 °C.

Thermometer B measures to 1 digit only, therefore, is less accurate than thermometer A, and the measure would not be readable with accuracy.

Remember that accuracy is related to the closeness of a standard value, while the precision is related to the closeness of two or more measures.

In this problem we do not have several measures, just one, and we need to do it with more accuracy, so thermometer A would fullfill this.
