freezing point on d 1st is -20 while d boiling is 100 which is a length of 120 possible temp readings; d 2nd thermometer is 0 to 100, which is a length of 100 possible temp readings; make both thermometer of d same length, d 1st will have a spacing of 1.2 to 1 degree , while d 2nd will have spacing of 1 to 1 degree. Multiply both thermometer spacing by 70, on d 2nd we will have 70 and on the 1st we will have 84, then subtract 20 4rm 84 due to d -20 of d freezing point, it will give 64. 4rm my calculations the answer will be ''C''.

It should be (-20) not just 20, the answer is right but the workings is confusing for those learning

Its -20 so the solution is wrong
