Ed spoke to his cousin in Australia, who told him it was 30°C

Question

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?

Answer 1

To convert 30°C to Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \):

1. Substitute \( C \) with 30: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}(30) + 32 \]

2. Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 30 \): \[ \frac{9}{5} \times 30 = 54 \]

3. Now, add 32 to this result: \[ F = 54 + 32 = 86 \]

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