Answer

$a.\quad-18.0\mathrm{F}^{\mathrm{o}}$ $b.\quad-10.0\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}}$

Work Step by Step

The temperature interval from freezing to boiling point of water is, for the Celsius scale, $\Delta T_{\mathrm{C}}=100\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}}$ and for the Fahrenheit scale$, \Delta T_{\mathrm{F}}=180\mathrm{F}^{\mathrm{o}}$. $\displaystyle \frac{\Delta T_{\mathrm{C}}}{\Delta T_{\mathrm{F}}}=\frac{100}{180}=\frac{5}{9},$ given $\Delta T_{\mathrm{K}} =\Delta T_{\mathrm{C}}=-10\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}}$ $ a.\quad$ $\displaystyle \frac{-10.0\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\Delta T_{\mathrm{F}}}=\frac{5}{9},$ $\displaystyle \Delta T_{\mathrm{F}}=\frac{9}{5}(-10.0\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}})=-18.0\mathrm{F}^{\mathrm{o}}$ $ b.\quad$ $\Delta T_{\mathrm{C}}=\Delta T_{\mathrm{K}}=-10.0\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}}$
