Temperature as a Fundamental Dimension

There are certain rules to write dimensions of a physical quantity using the fundamental dimensions. They are outlined below.

Question

A waste is being discharged into a river that has a temperature of 8°C. What fraction of the
maximum oxygen consumption would be expected in four days if the 20°C BOD rate constant is
0.115 d''? How would the result be different if the river temperature was 22°C? You may
assume that 0 is 1.047.
