Bert and Ernie Were Determining the PH of Their Goldfish's

question 167

Multiple Choice

Bert and Ernie were determining the pH of their goldfish's water. Bert's pH meter was in the fix-it shop, so Ernie used his pOH meter instead. Ernie insisted that he could use the reading to calculate the pH by simple addition or subtraction that he learned in second grade, but Bert (showing off as usual) claimed that the calculation involved finding an antilogarithm, dividing, and then finding a logarithm. This would make use of all the math he learned in third grade. Who is right?

• A) Ernie
• B) Bert
• C) both
• D) neither
