The temperature in Jamaica is 80 degrees Fahrenheit , while the temperature in Toronto is 15 degrees celsius. How much warmer is it in Jamaica than in Toronto? Give your answer in degrees Celsius.

Answer 1

To convert 80 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the formula:

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8

So for Jamaica:

Celsius = (80 - 32) / 1.8
Celsius = 48 / 1.8
Celsius = 26.67 degrees Celsius

Now we can calculate the difference in temperature between Jamaica and Toronto:

Difference = 26.67 - 15
Difference = 11.67 degrees Celsius

Therefore, it is 11.67 degrees Celsius warmer in Jamaica than in Toronto.
