Question

The temperature of first object is 36${}^o$C and that of second object is 36${}^o$F. Which is hotter than the other?

• A. First object
• B. Second object
• C. Both have same hotness
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

First object

Converting the temperature of the second object to degree celcius

Temperature in degree celcius $=(F-32)\times \frac{5}{9}$

$=(36-32)\times \frac{5}{9}={2.22}^{0}C$

The temperature of the second object is ${2.22}^{0}C$. So the first object $\left({36}^{0}C\right)$ is hotter than the second $\left({36}^{0}F\right)$.
