Question

Aliens from the planet Jeenkah have based their temperature scale on the freezing and boiling
temperatures of ethyl alcohol. These temperatures (in degrees Celsius) are 114C and 78C, respectively.
The Aliens choose J as their temperature unit, and decided to allocate 144J to the temperature difference
between the freezing and boiling points of ethyl alcohol and to let 0J be the freezing point of ethyl
alcohol. A healthy person has an oral temperature of 37C. What would this temperature be on the planet
Jeenkah in J.
