Question

Following number line shows the temperature in degree Celsius at different places on a particular day.
Observe this number line and write the temperature of the place marked on it.

Answer 1

Hint: On the right of the scale after zero will be positive values of Hotness and on the left of the scale before zero will be negative values of coldness. Thus measure the scale value if positive or negative and write them down.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale, and it is shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
Now by looking at the temperature scale, we can assume it is similar to a scale of integer numbers. To the right of zero are positive whole numbers and to the left of zero are the negative whole numbers. Similarly we can say that to the right of zero are positive values of hotness and to the left of zero are negative values of coldness.
Let us write the scale with the temperature. All temperatures are in \[{}^{\circ }C\].

Hence we have modified the scale into a better understandable way.
Now let us write the temperature corresponding to the given place.
Lahaulspiti = \[-8{}^{\circ }C\]
Srinagar = \[-2{}^{\circ }C\]
Shimla = \[5{}^{\circ }C\]
Ooty = \[14{}^{\circ }C\]
Bangalore = \[22{}^{\circ }C\]
Hence we got the temperature of the marked places.

Note: If there is a mistake in your scaling, then you might get the wrong temperature. So it is advised that you write down the number under the given scale, like we have done. By this method we won’t make any mistakes in pointing out the temperature.
