Question

Ed spoke to his cousin in Australia, who told him it was 30°C that day. Ed wasn’t sure if that was hot or cold, so he converted the temperature to degrees Fahrenheit. Use the formula F=95C+32 where F is degrees Fahrenheit and C is degrees Celsius. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? NOTE: Enter the number of degrees Fahrenheit in the box in order for this problem to be scored correctly. (1 point) °F

Answer 1

To convert the temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = 9/5 \times C + 32 \), we start with the given temperature in Celsius.

Given:
\( C = 30 \)

Now, substitute that into the formula:

\[
F = 9/5 \times 30 + 32
\]

First, calculate \( 9/5 \times 30 \):
\[
9/5 \times 30 = 54
\]

Now add 32:
\[
F = 54 + 32 = 86
\]

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is:
\[
\boxed{86} \, \text{°F}
\]
