Problem # 6: The reference points on a newly proposed temperature scale expressed in $^\circ x$ are the freezing and boiling points of water, set equal to 50 $^\circ x$ and 250 $^\circ x$. Comfortable room temperature is 22 $^\circ C$. What is the temperature in $^\circ x$?

If a temperature scale were based on the freezing point $\left(5.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ and boiling point $\left(80.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ of benzene and the temperature difference between these points was divided into 50 units (called $^{\circ} \mathrm{X} ),$ what would be the freezing and boiling points of water in $^{\circ} \mathrm{X} ?$ (See Figure $1.11, \mathrm{p} .25 . )$
When a hot object is placed in a water bath whose temperature is 25°C, it cools from 100°C to 50°C in 155s. In another bath, the same cooling occurs in 135s. Find the temperature of the second bath. The temperature of the second bath = °C
