Question 13 • LPISD Earth Systems A - CR

Maria is comparing data from an investigation about the melting point of ice. Based on her research, she knows ice melts at 32°F or 0°C.Which data set is accurate?

Answer
A
Set 1: 3°C, 3°C, 3°C
B
Set 2: 32°F, 32°F, 31°F
C
Set 3: 5°C, –2°C, 6°C
D
Set 4: 35°F, 40°F, 37°F

Explanation

Ice melts at 32°F, so measurements of 32°F, 32°F, and 31°F are closest to the known melting point. The 31°F reading is only 1°F lower, which can happen because of small measurement variation. Set 1 is consistently 3°C instead of 0°C, and Sets 3 and 4 are farther from the melting point.
