Read Fahrenheit thermometers, step by step

The Fahrenheit scale is the one a US weather report uses.

The question
Temperature: ______ °F 10°20°30°40°50°60°70°80°90°100° °F

Read the thermometer

numbered every:10°F
above zero → count upwards
numbered every:10°F
80°F
  1. Check the numbered marks first: they go up in 10°F, so each small gap between them is worth part of that 10 — not automatically one.
  2. Read where the top of the liquid sits, counting up from zero.
  3. It reads 80°F.

How it works.

  1. 01

    Check the numbered marks first: they go up in 10°F, so each small gap between them is worth part of that 10 — not automatically one.

  2. 02

    Read where the top of the liquid sits, counting up from zero.

  3. 03
