On a new Jekyll temperature scale, water freezes at 17 and boils at 97 . On another new temperature scale, the Hyde scale, water freezes at 0 and boils at 120. If methyl alcohol boils at 84 H, what is its boiling point on the Jekyll scale?

  1. J=(2/3)H+17

    J=(2/3)*84+17=73


  2. On the Hyde scale boiling and freezing of water are separated by 120 degrees, and on the Jekyll scale they are separated by 80 degrees, so:

    From Hyde to Jekyll:

    J = H/120 * 80 + 17

    From Jekyll to Hyde:

    H = (J - 17) / 80 * 120

    Using the first formula, 84H = 84/120 * 80 + 17 = 73J
