Is the approximate relation celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit a better approximation at higher or lower temperatures?

Answer : The approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Explanation :

The formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is

At lower temperature the value that needs to be subtracted (32) is large enough as a result the approximation "celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit " does not seem valid.

For example, 50 F is 10°C.

This is almost 1/5 of Fahrenheit temperature.

But at higher temperatures , the value becomes insignificant and also the ratio  5/9 tend to be equal to 0.5.

For example, 2000 F is 1093°C

This is almost half of Fahrenheit temperature.

Therefore , the approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
