Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $L=L_{\circ}(1+\alpha \Delta T)$ This can be rearranged as: $\Delta T=\frac{(\frac{L}{L_{\circ}})-1}{\alpha}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta T=\frac{(\frac{1.000}{0.997})-1}{12\times 10^{-6}}$ $\Delta T=251^{\circ}K$
