Answer 1

Answer:the right on is 35.6

Answer 2

Answer:

35.6 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the  °C be X

The upper scale reading for a Fahrenheit thermometer is  212 °F while the lower scale reading is 32 °F. On the Celsius thermometer, the corresponding scale readings are 100°C and 0°C respectively.

There a reading of 96°F would be

$\frac{96-32}{212-32}$ = $\frac{x-0}{100-0}$

$\frac{64}{180}$=$\frac{x}{100}$

cross multiply

$180x = 6400$

Divide both sides by 180

$\frac{180x}{180}$ = $\frac{6400}{180}$

x = 35.5555

x ≈ 35.6
