Yeah, that's why I edited my Post #4 from saying what Mark44 said, and just asking for clarification of the question. Answer "b" doesn't seem correct, but there could be something else going on with the question...Vanadium 50 said:

A degree C is wider than a degree F. And 1 degree C is higher on the thermometer than 1 degree F. So I'm having trouble seeing how "b" could the the solution to the problem... Can you send me a PM to help me out? Thanks!

No, 1 degree Fahrenheit is not greater than 1 degree Celsius. In fact, 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to -17.22 degrees Celsius. This is because the Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, while the Celsius scale is based on the melting and boiling points of water.
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C. For example, to convert 50 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, you would use the formula: (50 - 32) x 5/9 = 9 x 5/9 = 4.44 degrees Celsius.
The Fahrenheit scale was developed by a German physicist, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, in the early 18th century. It was widely used in Europe and later adopted in the United States. Despite the majority of the world using the Celsius scale, the Fahrenheit scale is still used in the United States due to historical reasons and familiarity with the scale.
No, the difference between a degree Fahrenheit and a degree Celsius is not always the same. The size of a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is smaller than a degree on the Celsius scale. This means that a change of 1 degree Fahrenheit does not always equal a change of 1 degree Celsius.
The Celsius scale is the most commonly used temperature scale in scientific research. This is because the Celsius scale is based on the metric system and is more consistent and easier to use in scientific calculations. Additionally, most scientific research is conducted internationally, making the Celsius scale a more universal and practical choice.
