Brooklynn used a thermometer with the same divisions as this Celsius thermometer to determine the temperature in her room.

Answer 1

The First answer is 10 1/2 celcius

Answer 2

just making sure youre not confused

Answer 3

Do you use the imperial system or the metric?

(don't worry, im not confused)

Answer 4

don'nt know what that is?
Sorry ;)

Answer 5

Well if her thermometer is divided into 2 degree increments you would have to pick an even number. Because you could not get an accurate odd number temp reading.

Metric = millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers

Imperial = Inches, feet, miles

Answer 6

i live in U.S does that matter

Answer 7

Then you are use to the imperial. Okay. Cool.

Answer 8

11 C = 51 F

12 C = 53.6 F

18 C =64.4 F

10.5 C = 50.9 F

But anyway if her thermometer is only accurate within 2 degrees, she could not determine an odd number.

Answer 9

Do you follow?

Answer 10

so whats the correct temperatures

Answer 11

All even numbers.

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

keep going

Answer 14

Thats it.

Answer 15

so whats the answer

Answer 16

I cant just give it to you, Ill get in trouble its considered cheating. Because this could be copied material from a course.

Odd numbers are numbers that cannot be divided by 2 and its quotient remain a whole number (as in no decimal)

Answer 17

i think is 10 1/2 c

Answer 18

No, its not because when you divide 10.5 AKA (10 1/2) by 2 you get 5.25 which is not a whole number.

Answer 19

is the quotient an even number

Answer 20

No, the answers that you can choose can be only even numbers.

If the quotient is a whole number (if you divided by 2) then the number is even and only even numbers can be answers.

Answer 21

the choices i got were 12 and 18

Answer 22

it between those two

Answer 23

Correct. because 12/2=6 which is not a decimal its a whole number. and 18/2=9 which is a whole number.

If you read the question more carefully it says

"Choose all answers that are correct."

Answer 24

So you can have more than one answer.

Answer 25

so im right

Answer 26

Yes you are right!
