[QUOTE="NP04, post: 6277914, member: 661237"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] Unsatisfied with the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales, you decide to create your own. On your temperature scale, the ice point is 77° M and the steam point is 437° M, where M stands for "my scale." What temperature of your scale corresponds to 68°F? [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] Not sure, because I think you have to make your own equations. I found the relationship M = 2F, but got the wrong answer. [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]M[/TD] [TD]F[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Ice Point[/TD] [TD]77°M[/TD] [TD]32°F[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Steam Point[/TD] [TD]437°M[/TD] [TD]212°F[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 437°M - 77°M = 360°M 212°F - 32°F = 180°F ∴ M = 2F M = 2(68°) M = 136° But this is incorrect. The answer is actually 149°M. Please help. [/QUOTE]
