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)

Answer 1

To convert the temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we can substitute \( C = 30 \).

Using the formula:

\[
F = \frac{9}{5} \times 30 + 32
\]

First, calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 30 \):

\[
\frac{9}{5} \times 30 = 54
\]

Now, add 32:

\[
F = 54 + 32 = 86
\]

Thus, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( 86 \)°F.
