Question:

On a new scale of temperature (which is linear) and called the W scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 39° W and 239° W respectively. What will be the temperature on the new scale, corresponding to a temperature of 39° C on the Celsius scale?

Options:

139°W

120°W

117°W

200°W

Correct Answer:

117°W

Explanation:

\(\frac{39-0}{100-0} = \frac{x - 39}{239-39}\)

x = 117°W
