a scientist uses a scale Y for measuring temperature. In this scale, pure water melts at 10oY and boils at 130oY at standard atmospheric pressure. he finds that sodium boils at 127oY. Express this temperature in degrees celsius.

what do do on this question

unklerhaukus · Answer

In Celsius there are 100 degrees between the melting and boiling of water

unklerhaukus · Answer

in the Y scale there are 120 degrees so 
$$120°Y=100°C$$
$$1°Y=5/6 °C$$

unklerhaukus · Answer

$$127°Y=130°Y-3°Y$$
$$=100°C-3\times5/6°C$$
$$=97.5°C$$

solving for x:

(0-100)/(x-100)=(10-130)/(127-130)
x=97.5 degree centigrade
