Question

The boiling point of water on Fahrenheit scale is

(1) 32°F 

(2) 98°F

(3) 100°F

(4) 212°F

Answer 1

Correct option is (4) 212°F

We know that the boiling point of water is \(100^\circ C\).

To convert \(100 ^\circ C\) to Fahrenheit,

\(F = \frac {9}{5} \times C + 32\)

Which gives F \(= (1.8×100)+32=212\, F\).
