The lower fixed part of a faulty thermometer reads 2°C while the upper fixed point is 100°C.
What is the true temperature when the thermometer reads 51°C?

Simplest way;
100/0°C=100-2/51-10
100/0°C=98/49
Cross multiply;
0°C=4900/98
=50°C🙂

easy formula:
t(true temperature)=R-R0/R100-R0×100%
t/100=R1-R0/R100-R0
R0=faulty temperature
R1=temperature
R100=Temperature at 100°C
