Question 3 3
A meterologist decides ee temperature scale, the Wedontknow (*W), for which the
degree is five times Smaller than the standard Celsius or Kelvin (°C or K) unit. Furthermore, standard
room temperature (20 °C) is chosen as the zero for the new temperature scale so that the reading is
always negative when it is cooler than that.
