Question

A starship is orbiting Milgram, a large moon of the planet Erdosar. The ship's sensor array detects that the temperature on the surface of the moon is
5.4°F
. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius (
°C
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer 1

Susan is planning on visiting Harbin next week on business. Checking her WorldTemp app, she notices that on the day she arrives, the high temperature is forecast to be
−21.7°C
. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (
°F
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer 2

We can use the formula to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius:

°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9

Substituting the given temperature, we get:

°C = (5.4 - 32) x 5/9
°C = (-26.6) x 5/9
°C = -14.8

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree, we get:

°C ≈ -14.8

Answer 3

We can use the formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:

°F = (°C x 9/5) + 32

Substituting the given temperature, we get:

°F = (-21.7 x 9/5) + 32
°F = (-21.7 x 1.8) + 32
°F = -37.06 + 32
°F = -5.06

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree, we get:

°F ≈ -5.1
